About
I’m a writer, animator, and knitter. I grew up in Oregon and now live in London.
My debut novel was released in May 2021 by Sandstone Press. My agent is Hattie Grünewald.
My new novel is ✨coming soon✨.
In 2022 I won an honorable mention in the Tom Howard/John H. Reid Fiction & Essay Contest for a short story.
I knit on the internet when I’m bored. My YouTube channel is called RJKnits.
