Creative Writing

I've always been plagued by the notion that I can do anything I set my mind to accomplish. Since I'm a voracious reader, I thought I'd try my hand at writing a book, and in 2011 began my journey to bring that dream into reality by joining my local RWA group, Nola Stars. My initial ambition has spread like kudzu through the South, and this page chronicles those projects that are near enough to completion that I'm willing to share them.

For the record, it's way harder to 'leave out the boring parts' when writing than I'd assumed in my initial estimate. So hard that instead of writing fiction full-time, I went back to school in 2014 and got a PhD in Accounting (2018).
