What I Do

I write southern fiction, contemporary young adult novels, and novels for the general market.

My regular YA column for Almost An Author is published monthly. The rest of my writing time is primarily spent on my novels. There are days when moments of seclusion to write bad poetry is required.

I read. Books are my passion and Bookstagram has become an addiction. I adore the community and my TBR has grown to massive proportions. I post regularly about books.

The remaining hours of each and every day are given over to my beautiful, inspiring, messy family.

Where I’ve Been

I spent a few years freelancing for parenting, health, inspirational, and craft magazines, for both print publications and online magazines. I have been a homeschooling columnist for a parenting paper and health columnist for an online organization. Slice of life essays for magazines and anthologies are also among the bits and pieces accepted for publication.

I’ve been down hard roads and learned hope is always there. Life is dark at times, but there is always a light in the darkness. This is my motivation for writing novels, to illuminate that hope.
