Just popping in…

Wanted to share and say thanks to Book Club Mom for featuring me on their Who’s That Indie Author segment today! Take a look and keep supporting your independently published authors!

Welcome to my writers page! Here is where I’ll keep y’all updated on the newest thoughts, musings, and sometimes even excerpts from the manuscripts I’m working on. There may even be a picture of my cat on occasion because what kind of writer would I be if I didn’t have a cat picture somewhere? PleaseContinue reading “I’m excited to be here!”
