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.

The Stories That Heal Us- Why I Started Sharing on Etsy and Youtube.

There was a time in my life when I felt invisible.

    Like I was screaming into the world, but no one heard me. I spent years hiding pieces of myself just to keep the peace. But slowly, through healing, journaling, and lots of growing pains—I began to reclaim those pieces.

And that’s why I started writing stories again.

Not just any stories—stories that feel like medicine for the soul. Stories that remind people they're not broken. That beauty still blooms after the storm. That you can lose everything you thought you needed and still become someone stronger, softer, and more whole.

My Etsy shop was born from that healing. I wanted a place where someone could stumble upon a digital download and feel like the universe left them a love note.

                                    My Newest Short Story

I just added a new piece called "The Girl Who Grew Through Winter".
It’s about heartbreak, quiet growth, and the moment you realize you're not just surviving—you’re blooming.

It’s the kind of story you might read on a quiet morning with tea in hand and tears in your eyes... not from pain, but from finally feeling seen.

“Not everything that stops blooming is dying.”
— The Girl Who Grew Through Winter

 Mental Health Matters—Every Day, Not Just in May

As someone who lives with anxiety and has walked through dark seasons, I know how lonely it can feel. That’s why every word I write is rooted in empathy. You're not alone. You’re never too far gone. And your softness is not your weakness—it’s your gift.

Come Walk With Me

I’d love for you to explore my growing collection of heart-healing short stories. Each one is written with intention, warmth, and truth.

You are not behind. You are not broken.

You are growing—even when it’s quiet. 

🍄 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.

A Journey Through Stories and Seasons: Inspiration behind the ideas

 

Every story begins with a spark. For me, that spark was deeply personal—The Dawning was born from my real relationship with my mother, a bond marked by confusion and heartbreak. Writing it became a path toward understanding, healing, and finding hope through pain. It was my first published book, but more importantly, it was my heart on the page. From that raw beginning, my journey as a storyteller continued to grow, leading me to new books, new dreams, and a vision that I long to share with you.

From The Dawning to Mystical Bounty

While The Dawning came from a personal place of loss and discovery, Mystical Bounty takes my storytelling into realms of fantasy and adventure. In this world of werewolves and succubi, I explore power, passion, and the fight for identity. It’s a story of transformation, reflecting my own growth as a writer and a person.

The Adventures of Skylan and Mary-Jean: Stories for the Heart

In contrast to the complexity of fantasy, my children's series, The Adventures of Skylan and Mary-Jean: Alien Virus, celebrates wonder and play. Inspired by my family, these stories capture the joy and imagination of childhood. My dream is to create more books that parents and children can experience together, building memories through Storytime.

Seasons of Life: A Dream Beyond the Pages

Beyond the pages, I dream of bringing stories to life in a new way—through a place called Seasons of Life. This future campground will be a sanctuary for connection, creativity, and reflection. Imagine cabins inspired by alternative living styles, gardens brimming with life, and an outdoor theater for stories under the stars—a space where people can create their own stories together.

How You Can Help Bring the Dream to Life

Every book purchase, every share, and every donation brings me one step closer to turning Seasons of Life into reality. If my stories—born from love, loss, and imagination—have touched your heart, I invite you to support this journey. Together, we can build a space where stories and community come together.

Thank you for being part of my story. The next chapter awaits, and I would be honored for you to help me write it.

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.
