Welcome to the waiting room of my writing journey, a space where imagination meets the written word. Here, you’ll find a window into my current projects—a journey across genres that reflects my passion for storytelling. I’m currently weaving the narratives of two distinct works: a nonfiction exploration of home renovation and personal growth, and a captivating modern fantasy/fairytale romance novel.
Though vastly different in many ways, both projects are intricately linked by a common thread: my belief that homes are the canvas for which we and our families paint our lives with meaning. This blend of personal home experiences and love for immersive storytelling forms the heart of my writing endeavors. Join me as I bring these diverse stories to life, each a testament to the beauty of creating spaces and narratives that resonate deeply.
