Hello!

I’m Selena, a chronically-ill, genderfluid Bisexual human who loves to write stories and take photos of a bit of everything.

as a self-taught photographer, I thrive on sharing the beauty of the world around us through the lens of my camera.

When it comes to my writing journey, I am passionate about every story I write. As nervous as I am about anyone actually reading my work…i hope they bring joy to those who give my them a chance.

I grew up on the gulf coast of Florida as a small undiagnosed ADHD Bipolar menace. I would get in trouble all the time, but not for the usual reasons… It was for things like bringing animals, birds, and reptiles into the house or school classroom — this included various snakes, lizards, birds, small mammals… And the one time I tried to catch an alligator in our ditch to make a new friend… nobody seemed happy about that, but of course I thought it was hilarious. I also felt thoroughly prepared because I watched Steve Irwin do it loads of times… And as a 10 year old, what could possibly go wrong?

For the last 20+ years I’ve lived in various areas across North Carolina. Many of my stories take place in or around north Carolina.
