Welcome!
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for checking out my website and my blog. I’m hoping to use this blog to help you guys get to know me a little better, as well as share my current work in progress with you. I already have a ton of ideas for posts from personal stories to steps in my writer’s journey to character introductions from my WIP. I’ll be posting those every Wednesday so check back then for updates! I’ll also be posting on my Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts whenever a new blog post goes live so be sure to follow me to be kept up to date.
I hope you enjoy what I have to share with you and I look forward to having you all join me on this journey!
