MY inspiration
"I'm inspired by the ability to craft realistic stories of
love and life.
These stories represent people that feel so real
you would swear to passing by my characters on the street or sitting next to them in restaurants.
What I'm most inspired by, the thing that truly makes my heart sing is that I get to bring to life the
beauty of us
by crafting heart warming stories in all
shades of brown."
