I'm pretty nerdy. I enjoy thrifting, attempting to play the guitar, camping, and (of course) writing. My reading and writing tends toward thriller/horror, so keep that in mind if you're squeamish about blood.

My first novel posted on Wattpad is ONE LAST THING, a YA book that I wrote some years ago. I'll probably go back and revisit it at some point. 

The one I'm most excited about is THE WHOLE TRUTH, which recently won a 2019 Watty award in the mystery/thriller category.

I'm currently working on WATERSONG, another thriller. Warning: I'm a bit of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants writer, so some details may get changed upon revision. The best part about writing, to me, is surprising myself. This is why I do it, so it might be a bit all over the place in the first draft. Stick with me, though, I'm having a blast.

I tried my hand at a short story with a sci fi twist. It deals with themes of crime and punishment and is called LAST GLIMPSE, if you're in the mood for something quick and upsetting. (It is quite bleak, but it won a PROJECT REALIZE contest.)

Another short is NIGHT TERRORS, a chronicle of the nightmares I used to have as a kid. There are some embellishments, but these nightmares were pretty messed up for a little kid to have.

Please drop by and say hello. I love to meet new writers and share stories! I'm a bit of a sweetheart reader in that I usually only post positive stuff unless you ask me to look for specific feedback. I welcome any and all feedback on my stories and especially appreciate constructive criticism since I know everything needs to be revised. ;)

Happy reading and writing!
