I am a mother, wife, writer, and editor, rarely in that order and never perfectly. I have learned, over the years, I can do two of those at one time and succeed. However, people are rarely afforded the ability to focus on two aspects of their lives at once.
My husband is an amazing man, who supports my random bouncing from one project to the next as we work together to create children worthy of the world we wished they lived in.
We raise three amazing boys, who take up our time with their unique life perspectives. The oldest has an engineering mind, quite unlike mine, and I look forward to watching him become his own person. The middle is my artist. He enjoys telling stories, drawing comics, and caring for his menagerie of stuffies. The youngest is both tough and sweet. He is a mix of both his brothers and I cannot imagine the person he will become as he continues to develop.
I have been writing since I was a young child, but I did not become serious about my work until my mid-20s. In 2021, at the Ozark Creative Writers Conference, I won the first runner up position for my LGBTQ+ piece, Polyamorous. While I finished my first manuscript in 2012, life interfered with my personal plans. I look forward to publishing it in 2022.
Over the past decade, I have worked with publishers, editors, and writing groups, leading to the enjoyment of aiding other’s development of their own work. I hope to aid you as well.
