I write poetry and also have several ideas for novels/series that I am building in my mind.
My poetry is generally about things that have happened to me in life, and has a lot of emotion behind it.
I plan to self-publish three poetry collections and then I am focusing on my debut fantasy romance novel that I have quite a bit completed from when I was younger.
The goal is to traditionally publish my first novel, but we will see what happens!
I self-published my first book of poetry in 2025 and titled it “Then”. This collection has poems I wrote as a teenager before I became an adult. I self-published it on a whim, and then in 2026 decided to pick it back up and get serious about my poetry and my goal of being an author.
I redid the cover and renamed the collection “Blooming Roses” as a homage to my grandma who passed away in August 2025. I now have a three book poetry collection planned titled “A Garden of Petals and Thorns” that explores different themes/parts of my life.
Poetry is my way of getting negative feelings out of my head and onto a page to process them. Trauma, loss, grief, pain are so much easier to release if you write it down. My poetry helps me heal, and I hope that some of you can relate to my poems.
If you do pick up one of my books or read some of my poems elsewhere please let me know your favorite(s)!
When I was fifteen years old I came up with an idea for my first novel, Unconditional. I had the characters, world, and plot for 1-3 books planned in my brain. I also had several other novels/series ideas. I wrote about 30,000 words of Unconditional and then went to college and have recently began picking it back up to complete it.
I plan to do NaNoWriMo in November 2026 to try to get it finished. I want to get my ideas out into the world and my characters.
