About

A 10-time published novelist with a passion for new challenges in and out of the writing world. Used to working under tight deadlines, self-motivated and self-driven, with over 250,000 book sales across genres for teens and children, plus dozens of hours teaching workshops across the US and internationally, mentorships for young writers, and adapting a novel for television. I’ve also written several screenplays and teleplays, with one advancing in the Austin Film Festival screenwriting contest.
