Hey there! I’m Mattie — your friendly neighborhood tea lover, dragon doodler, and all-around story geek. I create worlds filled with fierce survivors, unexpected friendships, and the messy, beautiful journey of finding family and yourself in the chaos. Writing Veil of Ashes is my passion project, and I’m thrilled to share it with you here on Tapas!
When I’m not crafting stories, you’ll usually find me sipping endless cups of Earl Grey (because tea is life), chasing after my two energetic pups, Freya and Morpheus, or teaching art to some of the most talented and inspiring kids on Outschool. I love helping others unlock their creativity while dreaming up my next book or art project.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Whether you’re here for the adventure, the characters, or just some good old-fashioned escapism, I’m glad you’re along for the ride. Let’s get lost in stories together!
