About Me

My family and I call the East Coast our home, where we live, with my talented husband, who loves to play the guitar. We are a family of six, with our two youngest children filling our home with joy and laughter. Our two oldest children have embarked on their own adventures, leaving the nest to pursue their dreams.

Our family has a deep love for God. For more than 12 years, I have dedicated myself to homeschooling my children. My interests include learning, drawing, reading, writing, and teaching. Writing, in particular, has always been a fervent passion of mine. Currently, I am engrossed in the creation of two novels, the fifth installment of the "Joey Saves the Day!" book series, and other titles.

I have harbored a lifelong aspiration to pen children's books, but I never felt confident enough to pursue this dream. However, in 2021, everything changed. I embarked on the journey of writing children's books because my son has dyslexia, which has caused him to learn at a slower pace compared to his peers. Witnessing his struggles with reading ignited a passion within me to create books that could have supported him during those challenging times. His journey to reading proficiency was arduous, beginning when he was just 4 years old and culminating when he reached the age of 10, finally achieving a second-grade reading level. Now, at fourteen, he reads at a seventh-grade level, a testament to his incredible determination and intelligence. While he still encounters occasional obstacles, his resilience inspires us all.

Just like my son and husband, I, too, have dyslexia. Additionally, I have Asperger's Syndrome, which makes socializing a challenge for me. Making and keeping friends is difficult, and I find comfort in following rules and routines. Honesty is important to me, so if you seek my opinion, I will provide it truthfully, even if it may be difficult to hear. I value sincerity and find it difficult to navigate a world where little lies are deemed acceptable. I am straightforward and prefer stability over change. Despite these challenges, I am a compassionate person with a deep love for collecting and reading books.

Me and my family!
