I’m a writer, wife, mom, daughter and friend who has witnessed the undeniable reality that God has an awesome sense of humor and extends favor over and over. I released my first novel, Broken Vessels—on April 2 and it went to #22 on one of Amazon’s best seller lists. Broken Vessels is the first of a series, and my goal is to make readers burst into laughter, wipe away tears and feel renewed in their own situations.

I have a Mass Media Arts (Print Journalism) bachelor’s degree from Hampton University and a Written Communication master’s degree from Eastern Michigan University. With nearly 16 years of experience as a professional writer, I’ve written everything from technical manuals to biographies, interviewing people including the late Stan

Can't I?

The other day I was stuck in rush hour traffic when I saw a personalized plate that read “CANTI.” I immediately processed it as “Can’t I?” I’m not sure if that was the motorist's intention, but that's definitely what registered with me.

“I believe that God opens doors but closes them if you don’t act when given the opportunity.”

“E.L. Doctorow said once said that 'Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.' You don't have to see where you're going, you don't have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you. This is right up there with the best advice on writing, or life, I have ever heard.”
Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
