  • There Was Sadness In Her Eyes

    There Was Sadness In Her Eyes

    There was sadness in her eyes as she told him he looked so much like his father. It was her brother, after all. Half, she reassured herself. Not from the same womb, just the same seed. “Really? I always wondered how he looked. I’ve never even seen a picture of him.” As he said this, Eva… Continue reading

    Loyalty

    Amanda stared at the man she loved as he got down on one knee and pulled a tiny box out of his right pocket. Before he could speak, Amanda shouted Yes! Luke closed his mouth and stood up to put the ring on Amanda’s finger.  She wrapped her arms around Luke, and he hugged her back, though… Continue reading

    The Best Thing to Happen

    “Ivory just asked if she can have your number,” Derek said from across the room. I spit out the toothpaste in my mouth and ask, “what for?” “She didn’t say.

    Jealousy

    She drinks one, then two, then so many that there are holes in her memory. One minute, she’s looking at him talking and laughing to a beautiful blonde.

  • Room 207

    Room 207

    Jane is startled by the loud buzz that lets her know the laundry is done. She folds the laundry precariously, careful not to wrinkle Nick’s work pants. The last time she did he yelled at her for three minutes and forty-two seconds. She always keeps track of how long he yells. It’s the only thing… Continue reading

  • Excerpt From a Book I’ll Never Write

    Excerpt From a Book I’ll Never Write

    It was impossible to see anything under all this fog. No matter how much Diana tried squinting her eyes, it was still difficult to make out what was in front of her. She knew it was nighttime. It was colder than most days. Diana rubbed her arms fiercely and clenched her jaw to keep from… Continue reading

About Me

Hi there! I’m thrilled to have you join me on my blog. I write fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between.

In my free time, I like to keep busy with a variety of hobbies. I’m an avid reader and writer, I love to knit, crochet, and embroider.

At the end of the day, though, my main priority is spending time with my loved ones. Whether it’s traveling or just spending quality time together, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by those I care about.
