I'm a fantasy novelist (the published kind). This summer I'll be doing a book tour around the United States with my sister. We both enjoy hard hikes and beautiful views. I'm hoping that we'll be able to meet up with cool people along the way and share some adventures together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to make friends, help out a little, and grab a drink with anyone traveling in my area.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Published two novels

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied Ken Po under ninth-degree blackbelt. I also know Tae Kwon Do and Wing Chun. If you have any interest in learning some moves, I'd be happy to teach you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Drink-mixing know-how (always adding to my repertoire! I'd love to learn from you too!) Other than that, I can bring culinary skills, listening skills, an open mind, and Oxford commas.
