Welcome to my website! I’m glad you stopped by.
I am a novelist, nonfiction author, and recently a scriptwriter-in-training with one script making the rounds.
I love good stories and coaching authors to bring them to life. I also love helping authors discover the amazing benefits of self-publishing when done the right way.
I have a newsletter that discusses fun ideas and writing/publishing/marketing tips to help us both become better writers. I promise I won’t overwhelm your inbox! And if you sign up I have some great goodies you can get for free right off the bat. Check it out.
Please shoot me an email if you want from the contact page. I hope you enjoy your visit.
