Hey, it’s ME!
Hello! It’s so lovely to meet you all. Oh my gosh, where do I even begin? Hmmmm… Ok. I guess I’ll start with some of the basics. Where do I live? The Pacific Northwest born and raised. How old am I? Why don’t you take a guess? Do I have any pets? I have two beautiful, cuddly, kitties that I love very dearly and take wayyyy too many pictures of. My favorite color? Purple. Favorite animal? Foxes are my all time fave, but I have a soft spot for bats, elephants, owls, and dolphins. My astrological sign? Aries.
Interesting things about me? Well, I don’t know if any of it is interesting, but I’m a Pagan, I’m bisexual, I’m married, I have ADHD, I’m on the spectrum, I also have some autoimmune diseases that cause me chronic pain, I’ve been singing since I was three years old. I love art of all kinds; I paint, draw, watercolor, all sorts of things. I love to read (obviously), and write (duh). Photography is a huge passion of mine. I’m a big ol’ introvert. And in case it’s not already really really obvious I love all things whimsical and fairy related. Maybe you’re interested in what some of my favorite books are. Well I can tell you… My top favorite right now is the ACOTAR series by Sarah J. Maas. Those books have completely taken over my whole life. I think my second favorite would have to be the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (yes, I know, how basic of me), I’m obsessed! Some more of my favorites would be, The Night and its Moon series by Piper CJ, The Selection series by Kiera Cass, The Cruel Prince series by Holly Black, The House of Night series by P.C. and Kristin Cast, and I could just keep going and going and going because I love books so darn much. I’m sure just like many of you my TBR pile is neglected as I buy more and more books (lol). I bet you’re all wondering where I went to school and learned all the things that give me the right to tell you such fun stories and I’ll tell you; I’m actually still a student working toward a bachelor’s degree with plans to go back for my masters. Where at, you ask? Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU). I am also an active member of the international English Honor Society Sigma Tau Delta. What have I written? Good question, I’m still working on finishing my first novel, Evander, and I would love if you would follow me on the journey to get it into your curious hands! I will be posting to socials and my blog about my progress, my life in general, and about the whole process that will lead you to my finished product in the end! If that sounds like fun, I would love it if you would follow me on my social media (Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok) and also subscribe to my newsletter,and if that doesn’t sound like fun, I don’t know what to tell you! I hope that you’ll all want to come along on this fun rollercoaster ride of journey with me. Lovely to meet you and remember to look for magic all around you, you never know where you might find it.
