Middle-Grade Fantasy Writer

My love for the written word began with my mom, who filled my childhood with stories, reading endlessly and cheering me on as I scribbled down tales of real-life adventures and imaginary characters. She’s always been my biggest fan, encouraging me every step of the way. As time passed, I fell under the spell of dragon-filled fantasy, deciding to try my hand at writing middle-grade fantasy—dragons included, of course!

It turns out, a love of words runs in the family. My grandma, a true bookworm, read more than a book a week in her final years. Though dragons weren’t her thing, and she probably wouldn’t have picked up my work, I can still hear her voice saying, "good job," as I journey toward becoming a published author.

As a mom, I started reading dragon filled stories to the OG, who now has given me a grandson, and continue to do the same with her three little sisters, two of which are twins. I also am married to my biggest supporter and have an aging blind fire-breathing rat-terrier

I’m a published author in the non-fiction world, with more articles to my name than I can count—seriously, I’ve lost track. Last I checked, I had over 250 floating around out there, still earning commissions like little words at work!

While my fiction debut is still in the works, I’m gearing up to unleash a middle-grade fantasy about a girl who finds her voice after being chosen as a DragonMate. It’s my dream to see it soar among the greats in dragon fantasy.

Writing isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I didn’t choose the writer life; the writer life chose me (with a little nudge from my dragon-loving soul, of course).
