Did I just….get my first piece of fan mail?

1 year ago, my writing career was stuck in neutral. I saw the sub call for this anthology & wrote a horror story I’d been thinking about for years. The past yr has been wonderful & I’ve got so much to look forward to. But it started with this acceptance. Writers: Don’t give up!

So pretty

Reasons to book a query critique with me: • The first query I ever sent resulted in a full request • I’ve signed with 2 agents • I’m traditionally published • I’m a former English teacher • I’ve helped dozens of writers improve their queries over the years! 😁

Wednesday

LOL I had no idea what was in store for me

I’m excited to announce I’ve signed with Conquest Publishing - By Authors for Authors. I’m so glad I found someone who loves this piece of my heart as much as I do. I look forward to sharing Lark’s story with you all in MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES, Spring 2026!

We are now open for submissions 📚✍🏻🖤

Ahhhhh I hope you enjoy it! 💕

Someone told me I should write a sequel to THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR’S WIFE. Someone else gave my book a 4-star review. Life is about balance.
