About Me
Dear Reader,
I am a writer, who writes with Jesus. He is my inspiration and my rock. Without Jesus, I would be a writer without a pen, staring at a blank page and wondering what to do with it. My favorite things in the world are pens and paper. When you put the two together, wonderful things are created.
My vision is to give kids and young adults clean books and touching poems. I wish to help children love history by adding small elements of it into my literature and giving teens positive messages. My poetry can be very emotional, intense, and eye-opening. I have been told that I have an old soul and I believe Jesus gave me it to enrich my writing.
I have written over 100 poems, 4 complete novels, and 2 collective novels with a very good friend of mine, and have a novel and nonfiction piece in progress. I also have plans for several more once these works are completed. My poetry is often filled with heavier emotions. My novels are Western adventures and orphan train-era historical fiction. My nonfiction piece focuses on mental health and healing.
I hope to one day make a career in writing and currently help teach reading, writing, math, and social-emotional skills to kids who struggle in school at a local elementary school. I have an A.A. in Creative Writing and a B.S. in Developmental Psychology. I have two poems published in the 2017 Inspire Love Anthology, two short stories published in the 2018 Inspire Kindness Anthology, and two short stories published in the 2019 Inspire Grace Anthology. I was blessed to write an article for the Inspire Christian Writers blog on character development. Feel free to check it out by clicking on the link here. How to Flesh Out Your Characters I was also blessed to write an inspirational piece for the Our Shared Tales blog. Feel free to also check that out by clicking the following link.
