Welcome
Well, hello there! I’m glad you clicked.
My name is Anastasia, and I am an award-winning writer, Northwestern University alumna, classically trained educator, and published artist; this is my personal website.
More than anything, I want to be a vampire and fantasy novelist. Let’s imagine this website as a way of communicating to the world that I’m here and I’m eager to do that.
When I’m not teaching at Carmel Catholic High School, you’ll find me working on my debut novel, Apricity, writing for my Substack, Caligo, or the National Council For Teachers of English (because I need to make sure there will continue to be people who can read my novels). And when I’m not doing any of that, I’m making art that satisfies the unstoppable creative urges I was born with.
Oh! And sometimes I write fanfiction for my legion of thousands of readers on AO3, but you’ll have to pry the anonymity of that account from my cold, dead hands.
