Author bio

My writing journey began in third grade, and while many of my interests having changed, my love of writing has only strengthened. I enjoy reading and writing historical fiction, fantasy, and science-fiction. Anything that is heavily character-driven. I love older movies and TV shows, many of which have served as inspiration for my work. I'm happily married to the most supportive and loving gentleman, who has helped me on the manuscript for my first book. Outside of writing, I enjoy cooking, whether it's trying something new or making a good comfort meal.
