Home again & Fun Facts

coming back after an extended hiatus

Writer friends, hello!

My last stack mentioned a sabbatical. I’m back now, and ready to dive into sharing my learnings of the writing and publishing world with you.

But first…

Fun Facts about Me

Fun Fact – I love Friday – yayyy!

[I love Wednesdays too]

My jam? Brainstorming, problem solving, and details.

But really…

I’m an encourager, joy bringer, soup lover, nature walker, sunset chaser.

When speaking at conferences, you’ll often hear me asking, “Authors, if you were to write only 1 book, and you knew it would make a difference, what would that book be, and why?”

I began writing at 8, wrote my first handwritten series at 12, and completed my BA in professional writing and MS in English Education at 30, debt-free.

I’ve trained 3 horses, including a mustang Paint.

Favorite month? October, because fall colors and soup season!

I love creamy potato & pass on chili.

I’ve traveled 26 US states, called 4 home. Europe’s my travel bucket list.

If I could live the van-life, I would! Backroads, you provide so much beauty.

I grew a conference’s attendance 150 percent from the previous year.

I’ve worked with emerging and established authors since 2014.

I read and work with most genres, especially a book that makes you think, feel, and appreciate beauty, even amid tension.

Award-winning editor of 8 books, from having written back-cover copy to manuscript development.
