About Me

 I’m a storyteller with a heart for weaving tales of hope, redemption, and the beautiful, messy journey of learning to love. I believe in the power of words to connect us to something greater. Through each story, I hope to slip into your soul and leave you feeling just a bit lighter, a bit more hopeful, and a little further along in your journey. 

I thought it would be fun to do a list of things about me… So here we go…

1. Sweet tea is my self-admitted addiction. I carry my tumbler of tea with me everywhere.
2. Tattoos are my other addiction. I currently have 18 and always want more!
3. I have Cruella DeVil hair naturally – it’s half dark brown and half silver. I started growing out the gray when Covid started.
4. I am a certified book coach and developmental editor. Helping other authors achieve their dream is my dream!
5. I am a Clemson alumna and I still live close enough to hear football games on Saturdays.
6. I’ve wanted to be a published author since I was twelve. I was in my thirties when that finally came true!
7. My husband was my high school best friend and my college sweetheart. His name is Marshall and he’s an IT guru and a video producer.
8. We have four children – one daughter and three sons.
9. My favorite color is turquoise.
10. I used to be a trombone player and I played from fifth grade all the way through college.
11. I follow the philosophy that to be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is to be left behind.
12. I’m an Enneagram 3, which means I’m the achiever who is driven but also scared of failure.
13. My birthday is on Christmas Day
14. I’m of Scottish ancestry. 
15. If I were to give a TED talk it would be on one of the following:
    1. Writing a book
    2. Adoption
    3. Having a child with a food allergy
    4. Metastatic breast cancer
