ABOUT ME

Growing up lakeside in rural North Carolina, my days were comprised of uncluttered and seemingly unending hours. While there were many afternoons of mudpie-making and water skiing, the days often crawled in anticipation of—someday. Occasionally, the monotony was broken by a weekend with my large extended family and buckets of homemade ice cream. Most of those long hours, however, were filled with reading.

 

After college I stepped into my career as a radio news journalist, eventually wading into marketing and copywriting for various companies and organizations. Eventually, I took up freelance writing, a stream that offered the ebbs and flows that accommodated motherhood and, over time, coaxed me into the deep waters of original storytelling.

Book Inspirations

​

The Blu Phenomenon was born out of the experience of adopting a child from Hong Kong, a place whose people have long hoped for freedom from the restraints of Communism. It is a fictional exploration of how adoption might make that hope a reality. 

​

Grandpa Lou and the Tale of the Not-So-Hidden Treasure reflects the unforgettable contributions of two sets of extraordinary grandparents to my life. My hope is that this simple story will serve as a connecting point for grandparents and their "grands" who look to them—now more than ever—for unconditional love, acceptance, and guidance.
