Now offering free critiques for query ready writers!!

Hello and welcome!!

This is where you get to learn a little bit about me, but before we dive in, let me tell you what you can expect.

On my blog, I offer inspirational writing tips to help writers pursue their dreams, develop and build their brand, and above all… keep motivated. So don’t forget to click the follow button and join me over at my blog.

I also offer submission critiques for writers who are ready to start the daunting task of querying. I decided to offer this free service as a way to show my appreciation to this wonderful writing community. I run creative writing workshops and I’ve worked with editors to develop my skills, honing my pitch and query techniques. Sometimes an extra set of eyes can really help us grow as a writer. So if you’re stressed out, anxious or overwhelmed by the querying process, then pop over to my contact me page and get in touch.

So, who am I?

Well, I write fantasy-romance novels, spinning dark themes into worlds of magic and gold. I love morally grey characters, strong female protagonists, and stories that have poignant character arcs. You’ll find me deep in the query trenches with no less than two manuscripts. Wish me luck! So far, I’ve had six publishers and one agent request my material during Twitter pitches. Feedback from agents about my query package has been positive and encouraging. It all keeps me going while I wait for my dream agent. My goal is to become a traditionally published author. But in the meantime, I’m revising my fourth manuscript, working with my team of beta-readers, critique partners, and engaging with the wonderful writing community.

Like all readers, my happy place is escaping into the magical realm of a novel. Transformed and enchanted by the characters and their lives. I love high and low fantasy, YA and Adult fantasy-romance, dark fairy tales, and paranormal romance novels. And I’m a huge Zelda nerd!! I love watching anything sci-fi or fantasy, especially if it has a twist of the irreverent.

I’m training to become a Transactional Analysis psychotherapist which has taught me a lot about developing complex characters. In my spare time, you can find me walking my beagle in the woodlands. Watching Netflix series with my husband or hanging out with my two teenagers and bossy cat.
