I'm a #1 Amazon and national bestselling author, writing instructor & coach, podcaster, and book cover designer.
My writing career started in 2008 when my first series was published by St. Martin's Press. Since then, I have been published traditionally with Thomas Dunne Books at SMP, NAL/Penquin Random House, and Kensington.
I'm also indie-published.
So, I've done it all!
I had a dream of writing a book and set out to learn everything I could about how to craft a story. 35 books later, I am sharing my knowledge through WriterSpark Academy.
I built WriterSpark Academy as a way to PAY IT FORWARD. I have taken what I've learned in almost two decades in the publishing industry, distilling that knowledge and sharing it through the WriterSpark Academy website and here through my Master Classes.
I am a #1 Amazon and National Bestselling author of more than 35 books. With 20 years in the publishing business, my goal is to take what I've learned and pay it forward.
