A little about me

I'm a YA Fantasy Author who's a big fan of stories with strong female leads that have lots of grit. Though I grew up in a small town nestled in the hazy valleys that outskirt Appalachia, today you'll often find me jotting down story ideas in a Chicago cafe. Almost always, you'll find me with me with coffee and dark chocolate in hand.

So how'd I wind up writing?

It all started as a hobby. As a creative at heart, I found something magical about slipping into another world, creating characters, and pulling all the pieces together to form riveting adventures.

I wrote my first book at seven years old. It was about unicorns, didn't have much of a plot, and consisted mostly of Crayola artwork. But the passion to tell a story was there!

A good number of years later, I completed The Waterfall Traveler by writing during my train commute to work each day. While I made my fair share of writing mistakes, I had a good support group of other authors that helped guide me. I would've never completed my first novel without their advice and support.

After releasing TWT, I took a break from writing after my son was born. But I'm back to writing today, working on the sequel to TWT, as well as a standalone YA Fantasy novel with a western twist.
