Hi, I’m Mattie!

Tea lover ☕ | Dragon doodler 🐉 | Storyteller ✨

I’m an author, artist, and art teacher—and the creative mind behind The Inky Lantern: A Place for Many Worlds.

I’m currently writing the Veil series, a post-apocalyptic story filled with fierce survivors, found family, complicated relationships, and finding hope in the ashes. But Veil is only one of the worlds I’m creating. I’m also working on romance, fantasy, comics, poetry, artwork, and whatever new idea decides it absolutely cannot wait its turn.

When I’m not writing or drawing, you can usually find me teaching art, creating content for Twitchy Coffee Co., dreaming up new projects, or being supervised by my two pups, Freya and Morpheus.

Every coffee helps me carve out a little more time for stories, art, and bringing these worlds to life.

Thanks for helping keep the lantern lit.
