Welcome

I’m glad you’re here, because I love including readers in my writing process. Each story I share is directly influenced by readers like you—readers who enjoy being included in real-time, behind-the-scenes peeks (without spoilers!) at stories as they develop.

See How It Works

“She stood in the storm, and when the wind did not blow her way, she adjusted her sails.”

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

William Faulkner

lilt

And never stops at all.”
