I’m dyslexic: Writing for a living was never something I thought I would do. Spelling and grammar have never been my friends.

It wasn’t until college that I was exposed to creative writing and fell in love. I learned good spelling and grammar weren’t the only things needed to be a writer; you had to be able to tell a fantastic story. And telling stories was simply part of who I am. Finding many of my life events as a child lacking zing, I have been telling stories since I was little. Let’s say it landed me in the principal’s office more times than I can count.

Twenty years later, I use my imagination to create great stories for others to experience and find hope. I wish to make readers laugh, sigh, and root for the characters I so enjoy creating. Along with helping other writers reach their dreams through my writing coaching and mentoring.

I am a mother of three and a retired navy wife. Writing is the passion that helped me through many of my husband’s deployments. I love running half-marathons with my husband and friends that wish to suffer with me in the name of fun; Jane Austen, tattoos, sarcasm, quick wit,  gardening, crafting, and all things Harry Potter. But most of all, I enjoy the quiet moments of my day where I can sit and reflect on the day’s events.
