Q: Where are you from?A: I was born and raised in the woods of North Georgia. Q: When did you start telling stories?A: When I was a toddler, my brothers and I would put on puppet shows for my parents from behind the couch. It has all been downhill from there. Q: What was your inspiration for your picture book, Wild Feelings?A: One Sunday afternoon in the summer of 2022, when I should have been taking a nap, the image of the young girl with the large wild beast came to me, and it matched up perfectly with something I had been personally learning in that time about my emotions. It seemed like a divine moment of clarity, so I jotted down the simple poem that is in the book today. I later remembered an old show called Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, and realized there was probably some deep correlation in my psyche, though it was unintended. Q: What experience do you have telling stories?A: I earned a BFA in Theatre Performance while studying the craft of acting, directing, and playwriting. After a professional stint in the Children's Theatre space, touring with different companies and shows around the country as an actor/director, I went back to school and earned an MFA in Film Production, learning an entirely new medium for stories—movies and screenplays. I then went on to be a film editor in Atlanta, also working with companies like TNT and TBS to master the short form of commercials and TV spots. I worked for a few years at Cartoon Network, and have since then moved to my job at In Touch Ministries, where I get to tell stories for the Kingdom of God. I'm learning yet another medium now, as I venture from scripts to novels and short stories. Though not all of the stories I have worked on have made a positive impact on the world, I can only hope that my future is filled with meaningful, Spirit-led stories that will draw people in closer to the True Storyteller, The Lord of Creation. Q: What is your favorite book? A: That's an impossible question, so I'll give you four (other than The Bible, of course): The Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard, Walking on Water by Madeleine L'Engle, Perelandra by C.S. Lewis, and You Are Special by Max Lucado. Q: What are you reading now?A: The Brothers Karamazov, but I'm also listening to the Full Cast Audiobooks of Harry Potter, and they are AMAZING!
Q: When will your novel come out?A: I'm currently planning the Kickstarter for fall of 2026. Sign up for my emails if you want to be notified when there is news about the next book!
