I am a lifelong reader, devouring everything from Ayn Rand to Stephen King. My love of reading fueled a lifelong dream, and with newfound free time, I took the leap into authorship. My debut novel, “Secret of the Whispering Woods” is a middle-grade fantasy adventure, and I loved writing it so much that I wanted to write something completely different. Now, I am hooked, and I have already started on my next story.
