It’s funny whenever I tell people I love to write, that it’s my passion and my dream, I’m met with resistance. “There’s no money in that.” “Not sure that genre is for you.” And you know what? I have faith first and always. Watch and see!! #AmWriting #AuthorLife #HerStory #FaithFirst #WriterJourney

Not sure if I want to give myself a facial, make some tea, stare at the clouds for a bit… or hit the archery range. Either way, today is me time and I deserve every second of it. 💛✨ #SundayCare #SelfCareSunday #MeTime #SlowLiving #RechargeDay

Happy Founders’ Day to my incredible SGRho sisters! 103 years strong and still changing lives every single day. Proud to be a part of this royal blue & gold legacy. 💙💛🐩 #SGRho #BluAndGold #FoundersDay

17yo Sophie never believed in ghosts until one starts whispering her name beneath the red maples of her family’s cursed Texas estate. The house breathes. The trees bleed. And the boy she can’t stop dreaming about has been dead a century. #QuestPit #YA #H #Gothic #Q

Currently enjoying this rare quiet morning (thank goodness!) and diving into some querying with my newly revised manuscript. Feeling confident, grounded, and grateful for the fresh start. ✨📚 #amquerying #writerlife #authortok #blackauthors #querying #Horror
