If you want to know a little about me:

Picture
I grew up in a small town in Alabama surrounded by professional storytellers - my family. My life’s background helped to influence my writing and creativity. While growing up I attended Young Authors conferences, I tried my luck as a magician (mostly card tricks), earned my Junior Ranger badge at quite a few National Parks, and was in a marching band in high school and college. When I’m not writing fun fantasy and horror stories for middle grade readers, I enjoy traveling, attending rock concerts from musicians my parents’ age, hiking, and, of course, reading. My first novel was published in 2021 – Enchanted Misadventures with Great-Aunt Poppy. I’m agented and have two MG books on submissions. I currently reside in northern Alabama with my husband and a couple of cats.

If you want to know a lot:

I have loved writing stories ever since I was a child. I participated in the Young Authors conferences in my hometown and state, and I would write and illustrate my own short stories. I found so much joy in sharing my writings with others. While the dream was put on the back burner for years (and YEARS), it always stayed in my mind - I wanted to write a novel. But I had no clue where to start.

Many years later, I joined an online writing community and learned a LOT about the writing process and how to outline a story. I also joined another online group with critique partners and beta readers to read my writings, give me advice, and honestly, they greatly perfected my writing skills. I am so happy I joined these groups and highly recommend joining online writing groups to all authors!

One of these online groups held a novella contest and I decided to participate - that is where "Enchanted Misadventures" was born. I soon realized the story was a lot bigger than what I had thought, and the novella quickly turned into a novel. Ten months later, I signed a contract with a publisher and the rest is history (as they say).

In October 2021, my novel Enchanted Misadventures with Great-Aunt Poppy was published through Sweetwater Books.
