I didn’t always know that I was a writer, but it fell into my lap as natural as a leaf falls from a tree before winter. Writing is how I understand not only myself, but life. I told a friend one day to picture a bunch of jumbled words, loud sounds and scattered images coming through one ear and then smooth sentences out the other. That is what writing does for me, my personal translator.

In 2023, I published my first book and loved every second of it. Even the really hard seconds. Most mornings, you can find me at my dining-room table with a fresh cup of coffee and tall glass of water typing away. This is my favorite hour of my days, creating new work to share with you.
