That's a great question! I'm sorry it took me a couple of days to answer - I didn't see this until now. I'd have to say my biggest hobby when I was younger that affected my desire to tell stories would be reading. I found a journal entry recently from when I was twenty-one years old - I wrote that I was crying on a plane reading the book "Beaches" and I wanted to do that - make people cry (or laugh, of course) when they read my words. As a voracious reader, I had that desire to make people feel something with my words from a very young age - I've wanted to be a writer since I was in second grade. I also was very into art in high school - I loved drawing and designing clothes. Those creative pursuits spilled over into my writing. Thank you so much for asking! I love connecting with readers! Keep the great questions coming!(less)

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

When I was pregnant, I pondered the question - "Does a new baby turn your life upside down or right side up?" When I became a mom, I tried to figure out which it was during those hazy, no sleep, early days of motherhood. They were magical, of course, but overwhelming too. That baby is now sixteen years old and towers over me. This short story was workshopped with the amazing Jill McCorkle and Elizabeth Cox.(less)

Predators on a Pedestal

“Your body, my choice.” Those words uttered by the always charming troll, Nick Fuentes (who apparently spews his incel-fueled vitriol from his mom’s basement, according to doxxers), encapsulates the war on women that the 2024 election thrust into the mainstream. Trump’s win has allowed ultra-misogynists to slither out into the light from the dark “red pill” corners of the internet. Trump’s campaig
