Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.
-Earl Nightingale
About
A life-long lover of learning and creativity, I believe that every life experience has the capacity to teach us more about ourselves and the world around us. I incorporate this philosophy into my writing and lace it with artistic flair, exploring the emotions behind the experiences. My stories are witty and soulful, focused on understanding the human condition, yet displaying my love for a good plot twist.
My journey into writing was a long time coming. After being told in high school I was “too smart for art,” I spent a great deal of time avoiding anything creative. Then, I stumbled onto photography and finally gave myself permission to explore my artistic nature. This led to an Associate degree in Theatre, painting sales spanning the globe, and, at last, a writing career. I’m a published poet, have written and produced two middle grade plays, was a contributing author in a motivational devotional, and worked as a staff writer for a magazine in Kirkland, Washington.
A member of Pacific Northwest Writers Association (PNWA), I have a degree in English – Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University. I spent most of my life in the Dallas, Texas area, but currently call Washington state home. There, I’m intoxicated by an unfathomable passion for evergreens, lakes, and ferries. I love travel, a good cup of tea, an eloquently crafted sentence, and the wonder that is single malt scotch.
