Sharon or Ari, She/They

I have a BA in creative writing and I've published several short stories through anthologies and lit magazines. While my normal genres are fantasy/urban fantasy, sci-fi and horror, I've also dabbled in historical fiction and mysteries. My current passion project is "First Impressions," a novel-length modern Pride and Prejudice retelling - my first foray into contemporary romance!

Writing has always been my passion and while my goal is to become a full-time novelist some day in the future, I have a Master's degree in museum studies, with a focus in archival management. I love to explore form with writing, whether creating prose, poetry, or scripts for films, theater, and comics!

Just a few of my favorite books are "Pride and Prejudice" (obviously), "House of Leaves," "Jane Steele," and "Fly by Night."
Come be my friend on Goodreads - honestly, my most active social media spot for now!
