ABOUT ME
 
 
I’ve always been a daydreamer, always loved reading,
and always felt the nudge to write. 
 

 

 
I’m a history nerd who enjoys visiting museums, historical landmarks,
antique stores, and historic cemeteries.
Basically, anywhere that sparks ideas
and gives my characters
a tangible place to exist on the written page.
 
Even though I live on a .25-acre lot inside the city, I enjoy cultivating
my garden and raising a small flock of chickens
that were gifted to me by friends.
 
 

 

I have home educated my children for over a decade while we’ve been
blessed to live in four southern states. There, I’ve gleaned from distinct
dialects, customs, and taste-tested local cuisine.
 
Before moving to Tennessee, I was the Branch Manager
of a public library, and now I’m the president of
Word Weavers South Middle Tennessee,
and Page 51.
 
 
 
I’ve been published by LifeWay Publishing in their Open Windows Devotionals
and ParentLife Magazines. I also served as a Volunteer Field Editor for
Taste of Home Magazine for almost a decade.
 
For the last two years, I’ve been writing freelance for The Exchange Media Group. 
I’ve written dozens of articles for their Good News Magazine and have been
published in their Shelbyville, Manchester, Franklin County,
Tullahoma, and Fayetteville markets.
 
With the expansion of Good News Magazine, I am now writing for their
brand-new markets in Bowling Green, KY; Lynchburg, VA;
and Hendersonville, TN!
 
 
My work has also been featured in the Tullahoma, TN;
Warren County-McMinnville, TN; Shelbyville, TN; and Franklin County, TN 
Chamber of Commerce magazines.
 
*NEW FOR 2023: I’ve signed a contract with
Winged Publications for three books.
