Welcome to my office on the internet. I’m always here. I write unfiltered to encourage & uplift, and cater to those with a sense of humor. I aim to spark meaningful conversations by sharing poetry, philosophical musings, reflections on literary craft, publishing & grant opportunities, and writing contest. I also share intimate insights into my life as a novelist, poet, and modern homesteader.
