The Origin Story
Like many writers, I’ve wanted to be an author ever since I learned how to hold a pencil and had something solid to write on. As a child, I was a powerhouse journalist, editor, photographer, and graphic designer for a number of made-up publications; author of fantasy adventures featuring anthropomorphic animals; and investigator of imaginary backyard crimes that involved the use of walkie talkies I confiscated from my little brother.
Unconvinced I would be able to afford important commodities like food and impractical shoes, however, I pursued a degree in journalism, with a minor in English and psychology, from the prestigious Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University.
The Day Job (And Night Job)
Since then, I’ve become something of a unicorn among creatives: a writer who can also design, and a designer who can also write. By day, I’m a one-woman communications department at a state association. By night and every other free minute, I am a writer, social marketer, advertiser, designer, publisher, and whatever else a self-published author needs to be.
Why Now
In 2021, following the death of two close family members, I realized that life is too short to put off something I’ve dreamed about my entire life. My debut novel Anonymous Source (which I have literally been working on since high school) was finally published Jan. 1, 2022.
