I have always been a massive bookworm. Books are my outlet when the world is overwhelming or too busy. Since having my kids, I've used books and stories to escape from the day-to-day of stay-at-home parenting.

​

I started writing my debut novel, Storm and Flame, in 2018. It is a mix of Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian, Cruel Prince by Holly Black, and The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman, with a dash of Legend and Tella's banter from Legendary by Stephanie Garber, and a sprinkling of made-up words in a magical story that I thoroughly enjoy diving into. I'm hopeful that my future readers will love this story as much as I do.

​

Between raising very young kids, balancing homeschooling, and navigating a pandemic, it took 3.5 years to complete the first draft.

​

Thanks to my incredibly supportive husband, Storm and Flame finally made its debut in the world on Sept 22, 2022. 

 

Since then, the words have just kept flowing. Characters pop into my head at the most inopportune moments—typically when I'm driving or in the shower—and demand attention. They have things that need to be said, stories that must be told and I'll spend the next few weeks, months, or occasionally years, walking that path with them. Writing their stories and setting them loose on the world. 

​

It's the best/worst job I've ever had. Second only to parenting my not-so-little monsters.
