I am a storyteller
I spent my early childhood years living alongside the Buffalo River in Northwest Arkansas without television or neighbors. Those long, formative hours spent exploring the wild river and peaceful forests which surrounded it, set in motion a way of looking at the world that would later inform me as a storyteller. Alone in nature early in life, and then moving frequently throughout my adolescence, I cultivated my writer’s sensibilities, carefully observing everything about the world around me and the people who populated it. When I was twelve years old, my aunt gave me a journal with the gentle instructions to “write about it” and I have been writing about it, ever since. As a multidisciplinary artist, writing has taken many forms over the years: as music, movies, mixed media art projects, and now, novels. Regardless of the form it takes, my underlying desire is always to connect with and inspire others through my storytelling.

My debut novel, FREEHAND 2173 is a fast paced, cinematic novel that weaves together Los Angeles's stunning scientific history with a climate-crisis induced dystopian future.
Reporter Dorothy Holiday is struggling to survive despite insurmountable odds when she meets astrophysicist Thomas O'Connell. Their friendship helps her rediscover her resilient, brave heart and challenges her to try to help save what's left of humanity.
This passionate, entertaining and inspiring saga asks us to imagine what's possible when the best in humanity works together to overcome the worst in humanity.
