About the author

I'm a writer living in Sturgis, Michigan. I've always dabbled in writing, but found that writing after brain surgery gave me an outlet to capture my experience. After my broken brain brought an Information Technology career to a halt and I struggled with head pain, facial paralysis, and single-sided deafness, I found that writing helped me express what I was feeling both physically and emotionally.

My right brain, subservient to my left brain throughout my career, now regularly finds a voice through writing as I strive to interpret emotions and experiences through words. I'm a member of the Kalamazoo Christian Writer's critique group, Wordweavers, and Faithwriters.com.
