       Immanent gods and the living land often populate my poems and stories, as do diverse characters with fluid gender identities.  Other favorite themes include exploring how our perceptions influence our reality, heroic villains, inclusive worlds, and moral ambiguity.

​Anam [Gaelic], n. (äh'nim): soul, spirit, breath, inspiration. 
I chose the pen name Ahnam in celebration of the inspiration that fuels my passion to write.
