Hi! I’m Petra.

I’m an indie author who writes stories about chosen family and figuring out what it means to be human. I don’t stick to just one genre, because that would be extremely boring. Currently I write fantasy, sci-fi, spicy romance, and poetry. The latter mostly on my Instagram page for #FebruaryPoetryAdventure.

My first novel, Manly Hero, was co-written with my partner, Adam Lombard. We are currently prepping it for re-release in 2026.

I’m currently working on two more novels: book two of The Discovery of Legends series and a sci-fi action-adventure.

If you want to keep up with my works-in-progress, short stories, poems, and small life adventures you can check out my newsletter, Petra Glyphs.

If you want to know more about me: I live in the PNW. I can swear a blue streak. I have an insanely large TBR pile — it’s actually become an entire bookcase. I don’t tidy my house as often as I should. I love animals. I love a good pun. I also enjoy a bad pun. My pantry is mostly tea, which I’m pretty sure levels me up to kitchen witch status. And I love my local library.

Thanks for stopping by! 😀

I eat plants

If you have vegan, gluten-free ramen recipes, twelve bonus points for you!!! And yes, I know, minus twelve points to me for being food difficult. But I’m okay with it. I’ll make them up somewhere else.

Obligatory “normal” picture

This is a picture where I pretend to be normal, but with a hat.

i take a lot of car selfies

Not while driving! People on phones while driving is a major pet peeve of mine. I’m safely ensconced in the passenger seat here. And fully decked out in my peace & love gear. Peace and love to you. (Even if you’re on a cell phone while driving. But for the love of all things sane, put the phone down!)
