Some things about me…

Hello! I am a children’s book author who enjoys writing humorous and heartfelt stories that highlight relationships between family, friends, and the community. I live in Atlanta with my husband Hamilton and a rambunctious Malinois named Archer. Outside of writing, I enjoy biking (especially on vacation), hiking, trying new recipes, and spending time with family and friends over lots of food. Also, I have a chicken farm.

The creative process gives me a lot of joy —the ideation, the research, the writing, the sharing and critiquing – it nudges me forward inch by inch. But my favorite part of the process is interacting with young readers - their curiosity, sense of adventure, and openness are so inspiring and healing!

My stories are inspired by life experiences, family interactions (I have a huge family), lots of animal videos and just moments that make me giggle. Ideas spark any time of the day but long walks are the best time!
