Ten years ago, I was navigating a stressful adoption process and facing down a manuscript deadline that just wasn’t cooperating. Writing—this thing I had always loved—was starting to feel like work. Hard, draining work.
So I decided to let myself play. I started something just for fun.
No contracts. No expectations. Just a story I couldn’t stop thinking about …
A girl who sees things no one else can see.
She thinks she’s going crazy.
Until she meets a boy who—she swears—can see them too.
I never planned to publish it. But I fell in love with the characters, the twists, the romance, the world. Indie publishing had taken off by then, so I decided to take a chance and hit publish.
I had no idea that The Gifting would become the book (and series) readers love the most.
Now, a decade later—with over 4,300 reviews and an average 4.5-star rating—I still hear from people discovering the story for the first time. And it never stops making me smile.
To celebrate, The Gifting (Book 1) is FREE on Kindle right now.
If you’ve never read it, now’s the perfect time. And if you have, maybe pass it along to a fellow reader in your life. 💛

Thanks for being part of this journey. And stay tuned … I’ve got a new book in the works, one I’ve enjoyed writing every bit as much as I enjoyed writing The Gifting!
XOXO,
