I've been writing for as long as I can remember~journals, poems, short stories. I've always wanted to write a novel and started several over the years, but for some reason could never see them through to the end.
Until Eva came along.
I was abandoned as a child, at about the age of 2 or 3 which I strangely never gave a lot of thought to. Then I became a mother. When my youngest child was about 2, I watched him sleeping one night as I often did. But this night, I was gripped by this heart-wrenching realization that he was about the age I was when my parents left me. Something stirred inside of me, and eventually Eva was born. "Leaving Eva" began as a story of a girl who was heartlessly abandoned, and then her storytook on a life of its own. It was no longer the story that I began, and it became something else entirely.
I've always been a late bloomer, but I am happy that I've finally gotten in touch with my inner Author. She's always been there lying dormant, reflecting in other parts of my life. Now she is awake and alive, shining through me everyday.
I am very fortunate to have a wonderfully supportive husband, two beautiful children, and an incredible family. I have a career that is rewarding and challenging where I get to work with amazing, funny, and talented people every day. I'm a wife, mom, blogger, boss, and Amazon best selling Author.
Writing has been an escape, a refuge, and an outlet for me. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to channel my energy and my creativity in this way. With two books in the Eva series and a standalone novel, I Run to You, I am currently working on a fantasy series, The Lost Children; the Forgotten. Writing continues to give me joy and happiness as I watch my stories unfold before me.
