Rhonne Chronicles
Ascend Program
It started with a character sheet.
I've been writing seriously since 2015 and working on my first novel since 2017. I didn't grow up believing I was a writer — that got thoroughly squashed in high-school English. It came roaring back years later over a Dungeons & Dragons character sheet, when a half-drow sorcerer named Pyrrah (gleefully) set part of the Underdark on fire to escape servitude.
Pretty soon I was finishing a game at 11 p.m. and writing until three or four in the morning. One campaign in particular became the seed for Rose Reborn and the Rhonne Chronicles. The passion that had been kindled roared into a bonfire over one Google search — “how to write a novel.”
Writing is freedom. Despite the chronic pain I'll never be fully free of, it's the thing I love and feel I'm genuinely good at — proof that the girl who struggled in English class could one day write stories people actually enjoy.
Writing the Rhonne Chronicles and the worlds beyond it — character-first fantasy born from years of tabletop storytelling.
Brand systems, layout, and visual identity made with intent — the place my logic and creativity meet most cleanly. Formally trained, with an A.S. in Graphic Design from the College of Southern Nevada (2024).
Internal tools and workflows that turn busywork into one click. I'm a sucker for a problem worth solving.
Making space in tech and creative work for disabled professionals — the throughline behind everything else I do.
Advocacy isn't separate from my work — it's the throughline.
I live with fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, and neurodivergence, and I'm a graduate of Making Space's Ascend Program — a six-month program for mid-career disabled professionals. I build tools and tell stories so that more people like me get to do the same, and I try to encourage others with disabilities to find the things that help them thrive. Disability is part of the conversation here, not a footnote to it.
