Fiction Author & Foodie

Welcome To My Home (Page)

So, I wrote my first book, THE ESSENCE OF SHADE. So proud! But wait. There’s more. My second novel, ESCAPING PRETENSE, was just published in January of 2022. 

Along my writing journey, I discovered I needed to build a fanbase. So, I created this website after countless hours watching YouTube videos.

Now what? A gimmick–something to lure people in. Wait!! I love to cook, and my first book just so happens to have numerous references to food. In fact, my main character, Shade, owns a bakery. How convenient is that?

So here’s what I did. I hired a designer to create my covers (check them out on the “My Book” tab), and then blasted my novel out to the world via the many self-publishing tools available for dreamers like me. 

I hope you consider purchasing my books, and if you are so inclined, leave a review. Reviews are very helpful for struggling authors like me!
