i've been writing ever since i could hold a pencil...

I've always had a heart for story, whether that be through books, films, TV series, you name it! Books hold a special place in my heart. I wrote and completed my first book, Faith Over Fear, when I was 13. At 17, I published my novel, Anywhere But Here. I even got to edit and design the cover!

 

I haven't stopped writing since then! I've definitely learned a lot and I'm continuing to develop new ideas. With every story I write, I hope to bring a sense of adventure, family, and hope. 

 

The majority of my stories listed below are available to read for free on Wattpad, while my published novel is available on Amazon. Can't wait to share more stories with you in the future!

DEBUT NOVEL

PUBLISHED IN 2017 (17 YEARS OLD)

SYNOPSIS:

"The night I met the Olsons, the family was in chaos."

 

All his mother's life, she had denied the fact of having a son. Except, in his mind, she was right. As soon as Sawyer had the chance, he ran as fast and as far as he could with a backpack and an ambition. He set off, not looking back, sifting through feelings of insecurity. All his life, he had been told he was the criminal, not the victim. Running away was always part of the plan-- as an outcast, it was silently expected. Soon, he finds that leaving his past behind isn't as easy as he thought. His solution to the predicament of his life seemed to enhance his downfall. As he stumbles through the journey, he runs into individuals that seem to have it all together. Now, as his judgement becomes hazy, he begins to see that perfect doesn't exist. And his hopeless case doesn't have to either.

SYNOPSIS:

Sometimes, expecting something out of someone is the worst way to connect with them. Tin Tin Amble knows this all too well, coming from a family with a father who wants him to do everything but what Tin Tin wants to do and a mother living in fear that her marriage isn't scaling up to what she expected. Not to mention two younger siblings who he feels responsible for. Pressure's on to be perfect, but he's anything other than that. In school, he's known as the High School's photographer. He carries his camera with him everywhere and is definitely in the "in" crowd. Then the phrase "Do it, you won't!" is directed at him in particular and he snaps. In desperation to prove himself once and for all, he gives in to prank a girl, also in his Junior class, named Alivia. Little did he know that the prank was all part of God's plan for something more worth while than trying to prove who he is to a bunch of kids.

Soon, their friendship turns into something that helps them survive. Then Rowin makes a discovery that changes everything, taking her mind to places she couldn't imagine.
