Welcome Friends

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

Maya Angelou

Change often comes hard and fast, and I can absolutely agree! After years of passionately helping others navigate their healing journeys, I experienced a mid-life "awakening" so intensely transformative that it forced me to confront the labels and beliefs shaping my ambitions. Despite my achievements, I realized that the life I had curated was missing something important.

After a year of soul-searching, I emerged from the storm with greater clarity and a deeper desire to nurture my creativity through writing.

"The Naked Novelist" is my laboratory—a place where I vulnerably document my evolution as an author while sharing what is and isn’t working along the way.

It’s where I hold myself accountable, hoping to inspire other aspiring authors to pursue their dreams of writing and publishing meaningful stories with grace and messy self-compassion.

As an aspiring novelist, I am going with the flow. So far, I have completed two books: a mental health training manual and Purposeful Perspectives, which became an Amazon bestseller in four categories! Whether fiction or nonfiction, I am open to discovering the stories I want to write. My heart is drawn to characters with intense shadows and stories that weave themes of self-discovery, transformation, adventure, and rebellion.
