Hope Obiako, disillusioned by her mundane existence as a lowly account specialist, discovers a mysterious handbook that drastically changes her life.

Hope is a master performer, making a show of her competence and compliance. And while she really is both competent and compliant, no one at William Hensley & Associates seems to see it. But what they never saw coming, behind her quiet and agreeable personality, is Hope’s drive to “make it” by any magical means necessary.

“adding magic to the mundane” with each strange book I write!

As a woman who suffers from depression and social anxiety, I’ve made it my mission to candidly share my experiences with the hopes of helping others dealing with the same. This extends into my fiction work, where I spin tales about woeful women with a surrealist, magical touch.

Current projects

Along with writing for myself, I’m writing for others as well! Including bringing the ghoulishly delightful "Monster High" comic series to life for IDW and writing the comedic "Life of a Shoujo Weeb" for Sandstorm Comics.
