Many of you know me as a children’s book author. However, others subscribed to my newsletter after I released my first book, a memoir, in 2023.

My memoir, Unimaginable Loss… Godly Transformation, tells the story of the loss of three very close family members within six months of each other in 2021. It also includes a grief journal to help others who are grieving. This traumatic event was the catalyst for my writing career.

Earlier this year, in collaboration with Monica Violet Joy Productions, I released my first children’s book, I Don’t Think So! Monica has devised and produced hit series such as Blue’s Clues, SpongeBob and CoComelon, just to name a few.  Monica also acted as the art director and editor for the book. This collaboration resulted in a beautifully illustrated book that helps encourage young children who struggle with shyness to step outside their comfort zone.  

After the release of I Don’t Think So!, my site was modified to prominently feature this book and my memoir faded into the background. 

Recently, I decided to begin speaking about loss again, something I have found to be both needed and rewarding. As a result, I pondered the idea of creating two sites… One featuring my memoir and another my children’s books. However, a friend pointed out something I could not see for myself… Both my children’s books and memoir are about Overcoming and the two can co-exist. 

Therefore, my site was recently updated with a new homepage that prominently displays my story, my purpose and provides users with the choice to access two different landing pages.

With this in mind, welcome to my new site, focused on Overcoming, whether it’s shyness and unfavorable social characteristics (my future children’s books in the series) or loss (my memoir)…
