Stories provide hope, create connection, and show us who we aspire to be — and how to grow into our dreams.

Stories are the thread that’s connected the various phases of my career and informed my lifelong passions. As a fiction writer, an editor, a communications professional, a university professor, a speaker, and a bookseller, I’ve spent my life immersed in stories.

Whether you’re here to learn more about my fiction, join me on the writing journey, or explore professional services such as speaking and book editing, welcome!

Pull up an armchair, pour a cup of tea, snuggle up with your dog or cat or snake (or all of the above!), and let’s share our stories.
