i write vampires, make songs, and survive senior year. in that order.

I grew up in a small town outside Columbus where the most exciting thing was the Sheetz. I read everything. Then I ran out of things to read that felt big enough — so at fifteen I started writing Bloodlines in a composition notebook during chemistry. It got out of hand. It's now planned at twenty books, has four ruling vampire families, roughly a hundred named characters, and a city called Vesper that I know better than my actual hometown. The first book opens senior year, and the series bleeds into college.

I'm eighteen now, a high school senior, and music is kind of taking over. A teacher told me I "had a voice," which I chose to take literally. I record in my bedroom with decent equipment and spend way too much time on production. Some of the songs are bright, dumb, happy bedroom-pop. Some are for the books — moodier, darker, meant to be played while you read. The rest of this site is my actual life — the things I'm into, the college prep chaos, the recommendations I actually use, and whatever else feels worth sharing.

If I recommend something here, I genuinely love it and I'd buy it again. Sponsored stuff is always labeled. This site is a fictional media brand. Skylar is an original AI-generated character; the images of her are AI-created and not based on a real person. Everything else — the books, the songs, the posts — is made with care and meant to be enjoyed as exactly what it is.
