My background in the social sciences shapes the way I explore relationships, communication and the complicated reasons people behave as they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alignwide wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll often find neurodivergent traits in my characters \u2014 not because I set out to teach a lesson, but because that is part of how I experience and understand the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading alignwide\">Get in touch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center alignwide has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-nv-c-1-background-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Have a question, event invitation or media request?
