In Hiding

When I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming an author, I never thought that I would be proven wrong on the matter. Some of my author friends told me that there would be days that I wouldn’t want to leave my cave. I thought, ‘what are you talking about?’. I’ve always been a hybrid

Getting Published

Yeah, this time it is my turn.  Whoohoo! It is exciting and terrifying in the same breath.  Yes, I am a published children’s author.  I would also like to share a bit of the journey because it is not at all as glamorous as it sounds.  Well worth it, every step of the way. Let
