I am inspired by people and their stories. When you stop and listen to the life experiences of others, they become your teachers. I love incorporating bits and pieces of those stories into characters in my writing.

I think the best advice for aspiring writers is to just get started and do it. Just like any goal or aspiration, it takes energy to jump in and try something new, but there is no way to know if you really like it other than giving it your all. It took me quite awhile, but I am so happy that I did.

I'm working on a sequel for Comfort in the Wings! There are so many more themes to share about grief and hope, and so many more aspects of the characters to develop. I'm excited about sharing even more connections to these characters with my readers!

The idea for Comfort in the Wings came from experiencing profound loss, but then learning that there are ways to be both sad about the loss, while full of gratitude for the gift of life. I hoped that by sharing these realizations, maybe I could "pay it forward" and help others who experience overwhelming grief.

When I have a block in writing, I know it is time for a long walk alone - on the beach or in the woods - anyplace where I am uninterrupted and the rhythm of my own steps can spark my creativity.
