I write stories set in the spaces between beauty and ruin—where history lingers, and survival is never simple.

Requiem for Paris began as an exploration of a city I couldn’t stop imagining: a Paris of silence, hunger, and shadowed cathedrals. A place where lives unfold quietly beneath power, and where even the smallest connection can become dangerous.

I’m drawn to moments where people are forced to choose—between survival and desire, between who they are and who the world demands they be.

These stories are not just about the past. They’re about what remains when everything familiar begins to disappear..
