I’m a writer because I grew up moving—new towns every few years—and when the world felt too unfamiliar, I returned to books. Those pages introduced me to characters who thought deeply and treated life as an adventure to figure out. Books taught me you don’t have to be limited by circumstance—and that our inner worlds hold possibility and power.

The early years I spent writing in ad agencies offered a new kind of education that stayed with me. I learned to fight for ideas I loved and let go of the rest, all while watching other creators weave lives of imagination and beauty. Later, the shift to freelance writing gave me space for my first passion—books—and the very real work of raising three children. For a few years I had the wonderful experience of working as an editor at a national magazine, but eventually I felt the pull back to narratives that go deeper.

Today I split my time between helping others write their books, writing my own, and using my decades of ad experience to help brands hold tight to human connection and stories in this AI age.

Even though I love city life, I’ve grown deeply attached to the little corner of Texas I now call home—mostly because it’s woven into the fabric of my husband, whose work is tied to the great outdoors. On days small-town life feels too tight, the books remain: paths that are not limited by time or space, reminders of the God-given universe within.
