Fun fact: I sold my first grave marker when I was 15. My dad owned a monument business, and he recruited me early. What does this have to do with my writing? Well, a lot. I learned to meet people where they were. I learned about empathy. And most importantly, I discovered my superpower: Listening.

When I'm not tinkering with words, you can find me outdoors hiking, camping, kayaking, and / or trying not to kill things in my slowly expanding garden. I also hoard yarn.
