Welcome to Behind the Words, a closer look at the imagination, craft, and heart behind my stories. Here I share the sparks that shape characters, the ideas that steer a plot, and the lessons I’m learning as I grow as a writer. If you’re curious about how stories take shape or simply enjoy seeing the world through a storyteller’s eyes, this is your place. I’ll post reflections, updates, and behind-the-scenes notes on upcoming projects, and you’re invited to follow along and be part of the journey. Stay connected on social media for writing news, events, and conversations about the themes that guide my work—and thank you for being here as the next chapter begins.
