Welcome to the Evan-verse!

I'm a Seattle-based author and game writer. I love to create and consume horror, dark fantasy, science fiction, and humor. I'm also a recovering academic, happy to be working as Development and Outreach Coordinator for Clarion West while I also write freelance. This summer, I'm polishing up the final draft of my dark fantasy novel, Better Living Through Alchemy. My fundraising goal for these six weeks is $1,000.
