I am a  writer and TTRPG designer whose rules-lite games focus on quiet, intimate  moments between characters. 

My first game, Brothers in Arms is an RPG for two players about friendship, war, memory and loss.  In this GM-less game, players portray two soldiers sharing a moment of downtime reflecting on the things that have brought them together. Each of the game's six acts represents a set of memories, and together players create the story of a shared past.  Only one character will make it out of the war alive.

I also write queer scifi, horror and fantasy. My short story, The Time Witch, is about a liminal space where the pages torn from the history books and the stories of those who have been erased can be found. It's inspired by my passion for queer history as well as Slavic folk tales like Baba Yaga.
