Laugh-Out-Loud

Purveyor of Fine Words

Writer, Blogger, Dreamer

I write fiction and non-fiction for adults and children. I am both serious and fantastical.

As a little girl I would read newspaper articles out loud to my family and friends, incorporating them into the stories.  By the time I was in junior high, I was creating plots and characters of my own.   And I have been a prolific writer ever since, writing everything from poetry to educational videos.

My New Book is Out!

The Advice Columnist published by Saga Publications

You’re your own best friend. Nobody knows you better than you. Talk to yourself like you would talk to someone you love. These are all cliches advice columnist Joannie Simmons shied away from—until a ghost of her younger self confronts her via email.
