Sometimes it is hard to find the positive in a world lurking with negativity. This A-Z coloring book of words filled with positive intentions also includes spacious patterns to help you refocus your mind and gain back your power.
I write YA and women’s fiction with elements of science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism. No matter the setting — present day, a dystopian future, or even another planet — my stories share a common thread: the belief that spirit, heart, and human connection can carry us through even the hardest seasons.
When I’m not writing, I’m the creator of Salt & Flame Candles, a small-batch, hand-poured soy candle shop inspired by story, nostalgia, and faith. It grew out of my love of books and storytelling and remains a creative extension of that same love — just in scent instead of words.
I share my days with my fur child, who makes sure we walk five miles every day, rain or shine. I’m also a certified yoga teacher (CYT-200) and a voracious reader, especially of historical fiction and mystery. Some of my favorite authors include Victoria Thompson (Gaslight Mysteries), Tasha Alexander (Lady Emily), Marie Benedict, Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody), and J.K. Rowling.
In a former life, I was a middle school language arts teacher; by day, I’m a marketing wizard for a small engineering firm. Words, stories, and creativity have always been the common thread.
