I feel like I was a storyteller from a very young age. I was crafting (rather elaborate) stories with my toys as a child hiding in a pillow fort behind my Daddy's armchair. So over the years, I may have grown and changed, but my love for storytelling never changed. If anything it only grew deeper and stronger.
My experience as a writer was deeply a part of expressing my emotions as a teenager, and helped me in my young adult years too. However, I may have dreamed for many years that I wanted to be a published author some day. Self doubt told me that dream would never happen. In 2017, I self-published a devotional on a small scale. It was never available for purchase online, but only from me and some local shops. I felt very proud of my achievement, no matter how small, but I did get 100+ books out. Fast forward to the time of this post and I have a very exciting announcement! I have signed a contract with Wild Blue Wonder Press (Link to their website here) for taking part in their wonderful anthology releasing this November 2024 titled Novelists in November. I feel super excited and blessed to have this opportunity to tell a short story of mine with such other talented ladies and that we can all shine light for God. So that's it for my first blog post, I hope to check in again soon!
