WELCOME!

Although my academic research has been published in a peer-reviewed journal, it wasn't until the summer of 2020 that I felt compelled to write a story that is representative of my culture. CALL OF SILENCE is an adult dystopian fantasy that is set in Appalachia. With Greco-Roman influences sprinkled throughout, the novel is truly a piece of my heart. It is my goal to finish my first draft in early 2026. Click HERE for more information about CALL OF SILENCE.

I have helped numerous individuals proofread and edit important documents for targeted audiences. These have included college and scholarship essays,  law school applications, and manuscript developmental critiques. It is my hope that I can share this skill with you to help meet your needs. Please reach out through email if this is something that might benefit you!

It is my utmost goal to promote and highlight the beauty of Appalachia and its people.  Although it is often negatively depicted in mainstream society, Southern Appalachia has a rich culture that includes art, food, oral tradition, and our people's relationships with nature. Appalachian voices  are often underrepresented in the fantasy genre, so I would love nothing more than to show readers that Appalachia is a place worthy to explore!
