New Phycological Thriller story in the making....


 

                New Story Coming Soon: Until I Wake

I’m so excited to finally share something I’ve been quietly working on—my brand-new novel, Until I Wake. This story has been living in my mind and heart for months, and I can’t wait for you to experience it.

At its core, Until I Wake is a psychological thriller with a hauntingly emotional twist. It follows the story of Ava, a woman trapped between reality and illusion. When she wakes up in a version of her life where everything she built with her perfect someone is gone, she’s forced to confront strange and terrifying events that make her question her own sanity.

From ghostly whispers in the night to unsettling encounters that defy explanation, the tension builds with every chapter. But underneath the suspense lies something deeper—a journey through love, loss, and the resilience of the human spirit.

What I love most about this book is that it plays with perception. As the story unfolds, you’ll start to wonder:

  • Is Ava being haunted… or is she losing her mind?

  • What’s real, and what’s a creation of her own memories?

  • And most importantly—what happens when the truth finally comes to light?

I’ve poured my heart into this one, weaving in both edge-of-your-seat suspense and raw, emotional depth. If you love stories that make you feel as much as they make you think, you’re going to connect with Until I Wake.

Why you’ll love it:

  • A gripping blend of psychological suspense and emotional drama

  • Cliffhangers at the end of every chapter to keep you turning pages

  • A twist ending that will stay with you long after you close the book

I’ll be sharing sneak peeks, character reveals, and behind-the-scenes details here on the blog as we get closer to release day. Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss it.

Thank you for being here and supporting my writing journey. This one is going to be unforgettable.

Why I’m Creating a Children’s Book Series That Teaches Life Skills Through Storytelling

 HELLO!!! I hope the day is finding you well,

As a mom, skills trainer, and children’s book author, I’ve seen firsthand how much our kids are navigating emotionally—often without the tools they need to express or manage those feelings. That’s why I’m combining my two passions—creative storytelling and mental health education—into something I believe could really make a difference: a brand-new children’s book series paired with a life skills curriculum.

Why This Series Matters

In today’s world, kids are dealing with big feelings, peer pressure, anxiety, and more—all while trying to learn math and spelling. But what about the life skills that help them cope, communicate, and grow confident in who they are?

That’s where this new series comes in. My upcoming books are designed to do more than entertain—they’ll teach kids how to navigate their emotions, build self-esteem, express themselves, and handle real-life challenges, all in a way that’s gentle, engaging, and age-appropriate.

What’s Coming

I’m currently working on two new children’s books, both of which will pair with a fun and interactive Outschool class designed for kids ages 6–11. These stories will feature lovable characters and relatable situations that open up conversations about emotions, friendships, self-control, and healthy habits.

But I didn’t stop there—I’m also creating a printable life skills curriculum that goes along with the books. Whether you're a parent, homeschooler, or educator, you’ll be able to use these lessons to guide children through what they’ve learned in the stories in a meaningful, memorable way.

Created From the Heart πŸ’–

This project was born out of my own experience working with students who struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, and emotional expression. I wanted to create something fun and meaningful that helps kids realize they’re not alone—and gives them tools to thrive emotionally and socially.


This is just the beginning!
Follow along for more updates, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes as I bring these stories and lessons to life. Details coming soon!

πŸ„ Behind the Scenes: Writing a Thriller That Keeps Readers on Edge

Hello, my beloved friends, 

I’m currently working on a new book—one that takes a fresh twist on the thriller genre. The Echoes of Tomorrow is a story filled with high stakes, psychological tension, and a dark mystery waiting to unfold. This novel is different from my previous works, diving deep into themes of corruption, revenge, and the thin line between justice and madness.

There’s something electrifying about writing a thriller—the tension, the mystery, the slow unraveling of secrets. Unlike other genres, thrillers demand a constant push-and-pull between giving readers just enough information to keep them hooked while holding back enough to maintain suspense.

As I dive into my latest project, The Echoes of Tomorrow, I’ve been reflecting on what it takes to craft a truly compelling thriller. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at my process and the key elements I focus on while bringing this story to life.


1. The Power of the Hook

A great thriller starts with an unforgettable hook. For The Echoes of Tomorrow, the story revolves around a young man, Alexander, who experiences disturbing premonitions about a disaster at his school. As he races to uncover the truth, he finds himself entangled in a deeper conspiracy—one that threatens not just the school, but the entire town.

Every thriller needs a ticking clock—a sense of urgency that keeps the stakes high. Whether it’s a time-sensitive mystery, an unraveling crime, or a looming disaster, the story must keep moving forward, making readers feel like they’re racing against time along with the protagonist.


2. Creating an Unpredictable Antagonist

One of my favorite aspects of writing thrillers is crafting a layered antagonist. The villain in The Echoes of Tomorrow is a brilliant but broken former student who was failed by the system. He sees himself as a victim, yet his methods are extreme and destructive.

A great thriller villain isn’t just “evil.” They have motivation, pain, and logic behind their actions—even if it’s twisted logic. Their presence should send shivers down the reader’s spine, making them question how far someone can go when they feel they have nothing left to lose.

3. Playing with Suspense and Unreliable Narratives

I love to use dream sequences and visions as a storytelling device, blurring the line between reality and premonition. It’s something I’ve incorporated into The Echoes of Tomorrow to create an unsettling, almost surreal atmosphere.

Suspense thrives when readers aren’t sure who (or what) to believe. Dropping false clues, creating misleading characters, and planting red herrings all help maintain that delicious sense of paranoia.


4. The Dark Yet Hopeful Ending

Thrillers don’t always have to end in doom and gloom. While my story will have dark themes, the ending will leave readers on edge yet hopeful—suggesting that, even in the face of destruction, there’s still a chance for redemption and survival.

Writing a thriller is like setting a trap and waiting to see how the reader reacts. Every twist, every unsettling moment, and every moral dilemma is designed to keep them guessing until the final page.

Why I write, My Journey as an Author

     From a young age, storytelling has been a deep passion of mine. I loved getting lost in a good book, drifting off into another world created by words and imagination. As an only child, I spent countless hours entertaining myself, allowing my creativity to run wild. Although I have siblings, we didn’t grow up together, which left me alone with my thoughts and vivid imagination.

When I was 13 years old, my love for writing blossomed through poetry. I was so passionate that I submitted some of my poems for publication. To this day, I can’t recall exactly where they were published, but I do remember proudly receiving a certificate confirming that my poem had made it into print.

By the time I was 15, I had started writing my very first book, titled Sweet Sixteen Bites, a romance between a human and a vampire. Although that premise has since become quite common, back then, it felt fresh and exciting. I spent hours typing on my dad’s computer, printing out chapter after chapter, and even researching ways to get my book published.

One of my most cherished memories was sharing my manuscript with my English teacher, Mr. Pondexter. He encouraged me and told me how impressed he was with my writing. Ironically, years later, Mr. Pondexter became a published author himself! I never asked him for advice on publishing—life had taken me on a different path.

As the years went on, my writing dream took a back seat to other chapters in my life: marriage, children, and building a home filled with love. But the desire to write never left me. In 2017, when my fourth child turned one, I decided to reignite my passion and return to my writing journey. Three years later, in 2020, I accomplished a lifelong goal and self-published my very first book. I was 30 years old.

As a child, I dreamed of becoming the youngest published author. But dreams evolve. Publishing my first book at 30 brought a different kind of joy. Now, I get to share my writing journey with my children. They are my biggest supporters, listening to my chapters and giving their feedback. When I write children's books, they eagerly share their opinions, making the process a true family affair.

For me, writing is more than a personal journey—it's a shared experience. Each book I publish is a family victory, woven with love, imagination, and memories.

And the best part? This story is still being written.
