aspiring Indie author
Hey, y’all! I still can’t believe I’ve declared it to the world – I’m writing a novel!
And yet – that’s exactly what I did.
Here’s a little bit about me and my author journey.
It’s a scary thing to decide to write a book.
I’ve had ideas for YEARS! I write them down when I have them. I’ve started a few projects and even have a children’s book that I wrote and “pinned for later” to publish.
One day in 2025, I realized that I wanted to officially start the journey to publish a book.
I joined the Women in Publishing Society and started attending events. Some were learning and there was one very important one that is a weekly Writing Sprint to give myself the time and space to write my first novel.
For the love of reading...
I have always loved sinking myself into stories.
I have memories from my childhood of staying up late reading a Babysitter’s Club book under the covers with a flashlight after I was supposed to go to bed. As I grew older, that turned into an obsession with Sidney Sheldon.
Now, as an adult, I am an avid audiobook reader.
Anytime I’m doing things around the house or traveling, you will find I have a “book in my ear”.
I read fiction 99% of the time and my main love is magical fantasy. I also love a good cozy mystery. Honestly, though, I am all over the place when it comes to genre. Just give me a amazing story!

Yes, I have a YouTube channel!
You’ll find a lot of things on my channel, but one thing that you’ll love is my Writing Journal playlist.
Every time (well, most times) I sit down to write, I record a reflection video that talks about what I worked on or what I learned.
