My experience as a middle school teacher, wife, widow, woman of faith, and grandmother has given me a unique and varied perspective. This is fueling my work writing nonfiction essays, fictional short stories, as well as a fictional chapter book for elementary school readers. Some of my work appears in anthologies from a small traditional press as well as in the 2024 Florida Writers Association Collection anthology. Several stories will be included in a new book coming out in late June 2026.
Follow me on my journey.
Here's hoping it inspires you to pursue your own.

My oldest friend passed away in January 2024. This essay, written as a letter to her, shares my thoughts and feelings about the profound spiritual experience I had on the night of her passing.
