Step into my world and discover the journey that led me to become an author. Learn about the stories I love to tell and the passion that drives every word.
My journey to storytelling
I grew up observing and listening to the hidden stories Louisiana begged to tell me. My love for classic literature sparked an early passion for writing, leading me to dabble in stories for years. I am driven to tell stories that truly connect with the reader- tales that are as real as they are fiction, reflecting the complexities of life and human experience.


Life beyond the pages
My writing process is less about a strict routine and more about seizing moments when inspiration strikes. With a full-time job and the responsibility of caring for my disabled father, my life is a tapestry of commitments. I also dedicate time to wildlife conservation and advocate for domestic violence survivors. These experiences deeply enrich my storytelling, bringing a unique perspective to my narratives.

What I hope you find
Through my stories and our connection, I hope readers feel seen, heard, and believed. My deepest wish is that my books serve as a reminder that you never truly know what someone else is enduring, and therefore, kindness should always be our guiding principle. Join the SecretsDontStayBuriedBooks community and let's explore these truths together.
