Hi everyone!

It’s been quite a while since my last blog post on here!

I thought I’d share a quick life update with you all before getting back in the swing of blogging.

I graduated from my undergraduate program this past December and am now in grad school, studying to be a Speech Language Pathologist. I’m about a month into my grad program and loving it so far!

All three books of The Illusion Trilogy are out in the world! I am blown away by the awesome feedback and reviews I’ve been getting on the newest and last book in the trilogy, Sweet Dreams. That book in particular was very close to my heart, so it means the world my readers are loving Addison & Zach’s journey as well!

I have been visiting schools in the Pittsburgh area, reading my children’s books for kindergarten story times and talking with 7th and 8th graders, and high schoolers about writing and following their dreams! I really love the opportunity to share my story and encourage young writers! It is such a cool feeling getting to talk to the students about writing, since around their age is when I wrote Illusion. I love hearing their creative ideas!

I am currently reading two books! The Rest of the Story by Sarah Dessen and Own Your Everyday by Jordan Lee Dooley. I’ve been trying to be more intentional about reading and really carve out time to read things not assigned for class. I love reading, but sometimes when you read so much for school, you don’t necessarily want to or have time to read more once your homework is all done. But I’ve found that reading a page or two of a book I like before bed helps me unwind from the day and fall asleep faster, too!

I want to get back to sharing more on the blog here! So, comment below with book suggestions or what kind of topics or questions for me that you guys want me to talk about!

Wishing you all light, love & sweet dreams!
