I won my first writing contest when I was eleven. I wrote about what braille means to me. I've always loved reading. My publishing journey has taken me down several paths. From writing and publishing romance fiction to erotica with small digital publishers, to self-publishing and writing articles for several sites like Next Avenue and Mental Floss. I've dabbled in both nonfiction and fiction equally. Currently, I freelance with The News Herald in the Metro Detroit area, writing mostly human-interest articles.
