The biggest love of my life is books. As an avid reader, my passion naturally evolved into writing reviews. I initially worried they were too long and overly detailed, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that readers actually found that depth helpful. That connection with my audience eventually led to an invitation from Amazon to become a product reviewer within their prestigious Amazon Vine program.
My journey with creative writing has been a process of facing old fears. I’ve carried a lingering hesitation toward writing prompts since middle school, back when I competed in Power of the Pen. I’ll never forget the realization, after that first forty-five-minute round, that I wasn't prepared. While a teacher might share some responsibility, I’ve learned that in life, one must be prepared and take ownership of their own path.
For a long time, I viewed writing as an impossible profession—this was before the internet changed everything. Looking back, I often wish I had traded my psychology degree for a seat in the English department, but my background in psychology now informs the way I dissect characters and narratives.
On Medium, I am sharing the entire plethora of my work. You will find:
Detailed Book Reviews: My first and enduring love.
Fiction & Short Stories: Born from prompts as I continue to hone my craft.
Personal Essays & Reporting: Real-life reflections, opinions on current events, and the "Architecture of Truth" within my own history.
I want to thank everyone who stops by to read. Thank you for taking a moment out of your busy life to "smell the roses" or sip your coffee or tea while spending time with my words.
Enjoy. God bless.
