So every website needs one of these.

But I’m kinda awkward about it because I think you get to know people a lot more by what they say and do (and in my case write) than what they tell you about themselves.

(And I suppose just saying that tells you a lot about me)

But once you’re here, I can tell you a little bit about what I do and what my dreams and goals are.

So I’m a writer, that one’s obvious.

Fiction is my passion, but I love me a good essay.

I’m a speaker too.

I talk about writing (duh), creativity, grit, and a lot of things I’ve learned along the way to becoming a writer.

I’m also a teacher.

I taught High School English for over a decade.

I loved it, but I can’t grade essays anymore.

These days I teach in the form of writing courses, coaching, and teacher professional development.

I’m also a wife and mother to four boys (yes, that means I’m the queen.)

Your turn,

Tell me about yourself:

What brings you to this page?

What are your creative dreams,

What’s getting in your way?

How can I help you?

Or you can just say, “Hi.”

I’m a real person, who reads every message that’s sent my way,

and I respond to 99.9% of them (the rest are creepy, cuz some

people are that way, I don’t know why.)

My email address is in the top right-hand corner,

or you can write in the chatbox, or on the contact page.

(yes, I’m that easy to reach)

Anywho, that’s all folks.

See around the rest of these pages.
