About The Author

I’m a writer, mother, and wife, deeply inspired by the power of storytelling to connect, transform, and heal. I was immersed in a world where life’s complexities revealed themselves before I was ready, shaping my understanding of the power of stories to make sense of chaos and transform our world. From a young age, I was captivated by the art of crafting worlds and characters that felt alive, a passion that only grew stronger with time.

Life itself is the ultimate storyteller, and I’ve been both a willing audience and an eager participant in its unfolding narrative. I find inspiration in the still whispers of nature, the electric hum of city streets, and the profound depths of the mind. Every moment is a page waiting to be written, every encounter a plot twist, and every thought a spark of creativity.

As a mother and wife, my life is rooted in love, creativity, and a constant quest for balance. My family shapes my stories—stories that explore the complexities of human emotion, the beauty of different worlds, and the magic that exists within us all. Though I prefer to keep my personal life private, these roles are integral to my creative journey, providing endless inspiration and motivation.

Outside of writing, I am an herbalist and spiritualist, finding deep connections in the natural world and the ancient wisdom it offers. I believe in the quiet power of plants, the magic of herbs, and the importance of grounding oneself in the rhythms of the earth. These practices shape my work, guiding my imagination and lending an otherworldly layer to my stories. Whether I’m tending to a garden of medicinal plants or exploring metaphysical thought, I carry these sacred elements into the worlds I create.

From my childhood visits to bookstores, where I’d lose myself in the musty scent of old paper and the rows of untold stories, to my time at the Art Institute of Chicago, where the brushstrokes of timeless masterpieces sparked my imagination, my passion for storytelling has been nourished by art and literature. The characters in books and paintings felt like old friends, and the worlds they lived in became the blueprint for my own stories.

With a pen in hand, I craft realms where the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

Each book I write is an invitation to a journey, a chance to dive into realms both familiar and fantastical.

I hope my words serve as a catalyst for your own imagination, sparking curiosity, challenging perspectives, and transforming the everyday into something magical.

And may ink upon paper transport you to realms unseen, where imagination knows no bounds, and the spirit finds solace in the quiet companionship of stories yet untold.
