My first taste of publication validation was when I was twelve. I had written a poem for a school project to be entered into a children’s poetry contest. To my surprise, I was chosen for the adult category instead.

Unbeknownst to me at the time, that moment changed everything.

Growing up was not easy for me, and writing soon became my escape. I battled with psychologically damaging household, isolation, bullying, and the inevitable fear of failure. I also struggled with depression and anxiety. Writing became a world where I could change the rules, become anyone, and escape from reality. I wanted to disappear. But I also wanted to matter.

But writing gave me both. I could create anything I wanted — any character I wanted (many of which would have protected me from all of the hardships I dealt with growing up). The more time I spent in the fantasy world of my mind, the more I began to heal from the hurt that burdened me.

What began as scattered stories and unfinished fanfictions slowly evolved into something bigger. More real. I didn’t just want to write stories—I wanted to create worlds. In 2016, that drive sparked the beginning of The Wanderer Trilogy—a post-apocalyptic saga about survival, identity, and what it means to confront the darkness within. My goal was to keep the reader on edge, giving just enough to make them feel like they know what’s happening, only to twist everything at the very end…

I wrote the first two books quickly and published them, more caught up in the excitement than fully prepared. But once they were out in the world, something unexpected happened. The fear of failure that had always haunted me was suddenly replaced by something even heavier—the fear of success.

I stepped away from the trilogy and spent the next three years focused on healing. I faced old wounds, confronted parts of myself I had long ignored, and began to truly understand the depth of my own journey and how it translated to the story I was writing. Eva’s story.

In 2025, I finally returned to write the third book.

It was as if I needed to grow into the person capable of finishing this trilogy. My characters couldn’t find their resolution until I had found some of my own.

The Wanderer Trilogy is the story I always needed but could never find. And now, I’m bringing it to you.

All three books are complete and being reworked for release beginning January 15th, 2026. This trilogy is raw, emotional, and unapologetically human—just like the journey that inspired it.

Beyond The Wanderer Trilogy, a larger universe is quietly unfolding. Spin-offs, origin tales, and new journeys are taking shape. Subscribe to the newsletter so you don’t miss a thing.

Outside of fiction, I created The Motivation Journal—a powerful tool for people who, like me, know what it’s like to feel stuck and need something to keep them moving forward. It’s a different kind of storytelling: one grounded in daily action and quiet victories.

When I’m not writing, I keep myself busy with a wide variety of passions. I’m an avid reader, a weightlifting enthusiast, and I love spending time outdoors with my incredible husband and daughter. I’ve also become the go-to “baked goods dealer” for friends, family, and coworkers—sourdough (with all sorts of wild inclusions), cookies, cakes, eclairs, you name it! And when I get a rare quiet moment to myself, you’ll probably find me playing video games like The Elder Scrolls or Lord of the Rings Online.

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, carried the weight of being the underdog, or felt the world conspiring to dim your dreams. You are not alone.

You just found your next favorite author.
