Published author for children’s books. My goal in writing stories is to inspire others through life's stories. I believe it is through the sharing of experiences that can help us all to realize that we all can find commonalities that we might not have realized existed. It is through these commonalities and experiences that I believes community, relationships, and a firm foundation can be built. My first book “My Friend, Thomas Carl" is published by Austen-McCauley Publishers and was released in February 2024.
