I’m the Publishing Manager of Blue Ink Press, a small publishing company in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. I served as a judge for the 2018 FCAC Writers Guild Carolina Prize writing contest and really enjoyed the process.

I’m also a published author of three Young Adult books. Dandelion on Fire (book 1 of the Greene Island Mystery Series) won the 2016 Benjamin Franklin IBPA gold medal for teen fiction. The second book in the series, The Curse of Viola, was a 2016 Foreward INDIES Book of the Year finalist in teen fiction. My short story, Echo Trail, was a top ten finalist in the 2018 Apparitionist National Ghost Story Competition.

I also love plants and the outdoors!
