I am the mother of three, Concord University alumna, over Youth Services at a local library, and weekend pharmacy technician.
I have self-published two books - In Death There is Life, and A Day at The Fire Department - and have recently signed with a publisher for my third book - Routines. I love to write as it allows me to live vicariously through my characters in a world that is of my imagining.

Meteor Shower Memories
Just like the streaking lights of a meteor shower, our time with our kids is fleeting, brightening our little corner of the world for a brief moment before spreading out into the universe.
It’s so Little to Ask
Three simple things were asked of us: stay home, wash your hands, and, if you do go out, wear a mask. It is a small sacrifice to make when so many have given so much.
What Motivates You?
Whatever motivates you, define it. Then, write it down so you can look at it when you feel a bit lost. This is your guiding light, the north on your compass.
