About Me
I’ve been captivated by storytelling since my teenage years. This passion culminated into my debut novel, Drawing From the Void, a YA fiction novel about a girl who embarks on a magical journey of self-discovery. My writing is heartfelt, encouraging readers to nurture meaningful relationships, embrace imperfections, and find magic in everyday life.
I was born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains. Now, I reside in Maine, with my husband and our two beloved cats, Captain Murphy Whiskerton III (Murphy) and Cheesecake (Cheese). By day, I work in Human Resources, but by night, I bring my imagination to life, crafting magical stories that reveal wonder in the mundane. Inspired by nature and driven by a passion for animals, my creative voice shines in both my work and my life.
I have volunteered in wildlife rehabilitation, bottle-feeding porcupines, hand-feeding owlets, and even being bitten by a duck along the way. Outside of writing, my creativity extends to hobbies like gardening, drawing, crocheting, and making up songs about my cats.
Believing in the power of words to create change, my approach to writing and life is best described by Dr. Seuss in The Lorax: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing’s going to get better. It’s not.” I hope my storytelling reflects the power of kindness and the impact of small but meaningful actions.
Fun facts aside, I am an advocate for positive mental health. We all struggle and the world can be cruel. I have chronic mental health struggles and like to create a supportive, safe space around me.
On that note, this is a safe space for all. I will not tolerate discrimination of any kind.
