You know how people always say, ‘If I had the time, I’d write a book’? Yeah, that was me. I spent years juggling jobs in marketing, PR, and communications—after first cutting my teeth as a law clerk and then working in local government. Writing was always something I dabbled in on the side, winning the odd short story contest and jotting down ideas in notebooks I never quite got around to finishing.
Then 2020 happened.
Like so many others, I found myself suddenly without a job when COVID-19 rolled in and turned the world upside down. I had always said that if I ever had the time to focus on writing, I’d absolutely crush it and turn it into a career. Well, now I had the time—and absolutely no excuse not to try. It was time to put my money where my mouth was.
So, in March 2020, I sat down and wrote my first book. By June, New Witch on the Block—the first book in my Magic in Mosswood series—was published. It was a wild, fast-paced experience, and guess what? I loved it. More importantly, readers loved it, too.
Since then, I’ve written 23 books (and counting!) across multiple genres—paranormal women’s fiction, paranormal cozy mystery, contemporary romance, and even dark why-choose historical paranormal monster romance (because why not?). I write what I love, and luckily, readers seem to love it too. Most of my audience is based in the United States, but I’ve connected with incredible readers from all over the world. The best part? Becoming an author has given me a lifestyle that allows me to spend time with my family and friends while also building an amazing community of readers and fellow writers.
I draw heavily from my own experiences, the people I meet, and the stories I’ve collected along the way to create my characters, plots, and settings. Every book is a little piece of my journey, wrapped up in magic, mystery, and romance. And I have no plans to slow down anytime soon.
So, that’s how I went from a legal clerk to a PR pro to a full-time author. It wasn’t the path I expected, but honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s to the next chapter—literally!
