  • When you take the grit, shadows, and moral ambiguity of classic noir and launch it into deep space.

    Galactic Noir

    • Cinematic Shadows: Environments dripping with contrast—neon against void, red alarms blinking in an otherwise silent hallway.

    • Flawed Antiheroes: Your protagonist probably isn’t clean. But they’re loyal to something—even if it’s just their own code.

    • Corruption & Secrets: Corporations, empires, and ancient alien tech—all hiding something. Truth is currency.

    • Style with Substance: Sharp dialogue, atmospheric visuals, and tension that crackles like static in a vacuum.

    • Doom, Elegance, and Power: Beauty in broken things. Hope buried under a mountain of betrayal.

    It’s Blade Runner meets Mass Effect, with a whisper of The Expanse and a stab of Sin City—except your femme fatale might be 5,000 years old and your drink might talk back.


    You don’t just watch a Galactic Noir story.


    You descend into it.


    And you hope it doesn’t recognize your face.

Hello there,

Welcome to my little corner of the internet—part coffee-fueled chaos, part comic strip therapy, and all heart.


I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, stories, and the kind of imagination that used to get me sent to the principal’s office. Growing up an only child meant two things: 1) I had plenty of time to develop an unhealthy obsession with space operas, and 2) every dog, cat, and horse within a 10-mile radius got a crash course in obedience training and character acting.


Eventually, I made my way through college with a degree in creative writing (yes, the essays were dramatic), a minor in law (for the plot twists), and postgrad work in psychology (because characters—and pets—are complex). I’ve been professionally paid to write, draw, train animals, design websites, do photography, act as a think tank brain, and once, I was very briefly mistaken for a tech support wizard. But at the heart of all of it? I tell stories.


Always have. Always will.


Lately, I’ve been dabbling in the mysterious world of AI. I don’t use it to tell my stories, but I have found it useful for helping me share them—especially visually. I originally considered animation, but that turned out to be the creative equivalent of building a spaceship with popsicle sticks.So instead, I’m venturing into the world of audio storytelling. I use AI to help bring my characters to life—not with ink, but with voice, atmosphere, and immersive soundscapes. It’s a wild, wonderful learning curve. Like having my own production team and voice cast sitting beside me, one prompt and one edit at a time.


It started simply enough—with a character who wouldn’t stay quiet: Helena Cartwright, a war-forged, morally gray antihero with a galaxy of scars and no patience for anyone's agenda. What began as a writing experiment has evolved into something much bigger: a serialized audio drama that blends high-concept sci-fi with dark fantasy grit, crafted in episodic form—just like the old radio mysteries I grew up loving.


And if I can make you feel something along the way—thrill, sorrow, anger, awe? Even better.


So thank you for being here. For giving a stubborn storyteller the space to chase a dream decades in the making. This is the project I’ve waited my whole life to create.


And I’m honored to have you along for the ride.


With stories, stardust, and a little fur in the keyboard,

A cheerful older woman with glasses and gray hair sits cross-legged on the floor, writing in a book with a pen. A happy German Shepherd sits to her left, and a fluffy black smoke Maine Coon cat sits to her right with one paw resting on the open book. All three are looking at the pages together, as if collaborating on a story.
