About Me
After almost 30 years as a child welfare advocate, I write to share insights through art, exploring the historical evolution of social issues through the lens of human experience and the metaphysical.
My first novel - A Branch for Each New Sky - is pending publication.
A Branch for Each New Sky
What if each lifetime was a second chance?
In 13th-century Wales, a peasant girl dares to defy the limits of her station, risking her safety and reputation for a choice that could change her fate forever. In modern-day Michigan, a young woman’s vision of a medieval life feel less like imagination and more like memory. When she realizes she is reliving her own past, the boundary blurs between past and present.
Spanning lifetimes, this novel explores the progression of the soul, the evolution of choice across centuries, and the unyielding fight of women to shape their own destiny.
