About

Blacksmithing taught me that fire and steel create both tools and art when skill guides the process properly. Raw, forceful prose reflects the physical reality of working with metal and flame. Years at the forge, learning that every material has its own temperature, its own tolerance for force, its own way of revealing flaws under pressure—these lessons translated directly into narrative craft. My writing carries the weight and heat of that background: sentences built to bear load, characters tested until their true composition shows, stories that don't pretend creation is gentle work.
