Blake grew up in several states across the US, found herself studying abroad in—and loved—France and Scotland during high school, but currently resides in Japan with her two rescue cats. ​
Some of her favorite authors from her youth include Tamora Pierce, Brian Jacques and Anne Rice, but credit goes to The Hobbit at age 8 that got her to make the switch from The Babysitter's Club and Goosebumps to the Dragonriders of Pern series and The Chronicles of Narnia.
​
Always creative, Blake went on to study Sequential Art at the Savannah College of Art and Design. There she learned the art of telling stories—pacing, arcs, leading the eye, etc.—in illustration, storyboarding, animation, illustrated books, and comics.
Tragedy struck Blake in the last year at college when a drunk driver hit her car, rendering it impossible to draw without pain for many years. With that and more tragedies at home, she found solace in an online TTRPG series just starting out: Critical Role. Shortly after, she bought her first book back into the world of fantasy: The Last Stormlord by Glenda Larke. It would take another near-death experience to light a fire under Blake to begin writing the stories she carried in her head and put her lived trauma onto paper.
​
Find her a story with realistic drama, overcoming obstacles both internal and external, some sword fighting, magic and a sprinkling of romance and Blake would probably read it. But twist those tropes and she would probably write it.

FAQ
Q: Have you published anything before?
​
A: As of 2024, no. But I am entering a short story contest and currently querying my fantasy novel.
​
Q: Is there spice in your books?
​
A: Short answer, yes. Long answer, I prefer to use story relevant spicy scenes for character growth. I've seen other authors co-release closed door versions of their story and that sounds like a possibility—albeit a tricky one, requiring a rewrite for some scenes since I tie them so closely with story.
