I am excited to announce that my debut novel, The Book Of Cin, will be released on September 14th, 2024.
When I am not writing, I spend time with my amazing husband and our two furry babies.
All my life I have written stories.
Whether it's in the form of music, shorts or poetry, I have used writing as a way to express the things I never felt I could say. I have novel after unfinished novel tucked away in the corners of notebooks and hard drives that will never see the light of day.
But then, my sister reintroduced me to fantasy novels and something clicked. I was finally able to put my story onto the page in a way that I felt would do it justice.
