Dear Reader
Dear Reader,
When I started writing in 2015, I knew I would see my story through to the end. December 6, 2017, my thirty-third birthday, I signed my first ever full length project to a small...
Being best and otherwise strictly known for my fiction, it seems fitting to start a collection with short stories. I warn you again; I attempt nearly every genre of writing w...
Historical fiction carries a fairly intuitive explanation. With a robust following, the genre will never fade in popularity. Transportation to a distant time and p...
In July 2017, I finished my very first novel. As a reward, and much needed mom-vacation, I booked my first writer’s retreat. Ghost Town Writer’s Retreat in Georg...
I enjoy a nice cozy romance every now and then, but very little of my stories have anything to do with relationships. To date you will not even find a single sex scene in my boo...
In October 2007, I deployed to Iraq for the first time. I spent the fifteen months resolved to the fact I would just live there forever. This mentality kept me from over anticipat...
Shauna wiped soapy water from the young woman’s slender rib cage, sending skin into goose-flesh chills. Removing the excess ink revealed the sharp illustration of a songbird in ...
I was inspired this by the lovely Donna Munro at a flash fiction workshop to write a creepy little short while attending the Ghost Town Writers Retreat. Equipped wi...
Soon after starting my first novel, I got stuck. I researched ways to work through blocks and stumbled on the suggestion of working on something else. This began my journey in ...

I like to keep my goals in writing and hang them in common places around the house - my bathroom mirror, my planner, on the wall in front of my face when I fall asleep and wak...
My grandmother, Ms. Mary Magdalene Gilliam (Werner), was a true matriarch in the most humble and meek sense. She never talked about herself or told stories about growing...
From October 2007 to January 2009, I was deployed for the first time to Baghdad, where I worked as a medic in the Emergency Room of Saddam’s former hospital, Ibn Sina. Though...
Much like military family life, the railroad has many challenges. A common struggle is being on call 24/7 and the effect not having a set schedule of constant travel h...
I am quite a gregarious introvert with a large fear of missing out, or what the kids call Fo-Mo. Fo-Mo keeps most people scrolling through social media at all hours of the night. I mig...
My weakest talent in writing rests in the prosy flows of poetry. All but one of these pieces were written before I ever considered myself a writer, and only then because I was forced t...
As a novelist, I do not have a particular opinion or insight about writing plays aside from the literary form being far from my favorite. I do not plan to adapt my books to films when t...
In studying the later Victorian Era and writers such as Oscar Wilde and the ceaseless traveler Robert Louis Stevenson, I was tasked with exploring the perpetual i...
