About me
I write sweet and evocative fiction with a dark twist. I'm represented by Amy Giufridda of The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency.
My experiences as a biracial Black woman fuel not only my storytelling, but my endeavors to lift and support other marginalized writers. As a military kid, I've called places as far as Germany home. I now live in Kansas with my amazing husband, twin boys, daughter, dog, and a sassy cat. I'm a hopeless chocoholic, tea drinker, tree climber, and wannabe juggler, whose acrylic on canvas is more about time with friends and family than skill. My Insta is mostly cats.
I'm a group author coach with The Creatives Apprentice, where we simplify business so you have the brain space to create.
I'm an experienced content editor with an eye for detail who has actively participated in multiple critique groups for more than ten years. I love discussing the craft with others, regardless of where writers are on their journey. At conferences, I can often be found huddled in a corner with a small group of people chatting about their work. It brings me a particular joy to help writers source out the cause of writer’s block or plot issues or characters that stop talking.
As a freelance content editor with RUFF! (contact me for a sample edit and quote) and Rare Bird Editing (closed to submission). I work with a variety of authors with manuscripts ranging from memoirs to genre fiction. I’ve edited manuscripts as small as 30,000 words and up to 200,000 words. Testimonials from my clients can be found here and here.
When I'm not editing or writing, I enjoy nibbling Peanut M&Ms while reading or writing paranormal, dark fantasy, and dystopian books with heavy doses of romance.
