When I began writing my first book, I was thrown into a new world, the world of marketing. I am a writer, not a marketer, and yet it seemed marketing was to be as big a part of my new calling as the actual writing was. I took in as much advice as possible, implemented multiple strategies to increase my reach and exhausted myself in trying to understand the market.

Five years and six books later, I have finally reached the end of that struggle with the realization that my books may not be intended for a mass audience and that’s okay. I write picture books and novels for children and young adults. That is my focus.

Whether my books reach thousands or a select few, my goal is the same. I want to inspire readers to consider the gifts, talents, interests, and passions they have and think about how they can use them to find their purpose as I have found mine.
