Retro 51 Tornado rollerball pen with a barrel made from reclaimed bourbon barrel and aged copper metal parts, resting on a wooden desktop.

To me, this is a weapon, a tool, a symbol of the work it took to achieve my dream of becoming an author and the day-to-day labor it takes to remain one.

To my dog it's a cool stick she stole off my nightstand and took into her crate to gnaw.

Grateful for every day 💪🏻🩷

I hope to see you this Saturday!

I have always told my kids: No future tense. "I will clean my room (or whatever)" simply means you haven't done it. 😂 Go do it!

Here’s a mock project I created for my portfolio.

I dream of working on interior illustrations for a middle grade series someday 🤞

If someone from publishing is seeing this, please make this (loves-to-draw-everything-silly-and-fun) girl’s dream come true 🥹

Being an author means having the audacity to believe you have something worth saying, the humility to take feedback & rewrite til you say it right, the vulnerability to put a piece of yourself into the world, & the toughness to weather the rejection that comes.

There is still time to buy books!
