I began my love affair with language when I was first introduced to the inflated alphabet dolls that hung from my kindergarten ceiling. Growing up, I wrote poems and stories as if it were my job. Now, I am grateful that it is my job.

I am an unabashed Jesus freak and work to make my words glorify my Creator. I like to think that language is a gift from God and that it has the power to change the world.

I have a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing from Stonecoast, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Nautical Science from Maine Maritime Academy. I spent five years in the Merchant Marine, sailing on all sorts of ships and having all sorts of adventures, some of which I will even admit to.

Today, I am a full-time mom / writer / editor / poet. I also really, really like dark chocolate and coffee, sometimes at the same time.
