Wow, I have not written a post on this site for a long time. But a lot has happened, but also, not much has happened with SIREN RISING. After my last post in April, I finished a complete draft of my book. It was not polished or perfect. It was most definitely rough. But I

I have officially surpassed a 100k word count. I have been making some major revisions and editing, and I still have a lot to do. So, I think I will end up with even more than 100k, which is good if I am now going to call this an epic fantasy instead of a YA

The concept of my book was born from the question: what if the little mermaid were a fierce siren instead? I love the idea of a “true story” that inspired a fairytale. The movie Ever After with Drew Barrymore is one of my favorites; the concept that Cinderella was a true story that was then

Wow! I have not posted in a while (Since January 15th!). Oops. It has been a very busy start to the new year, and I have battled several colds and illnesses and allergies. It’s also state testing season for my high school students, so work has been extra busy. Between all the work of teaching

It’s been a busy week with my high schoolers doing presentations and PTA meetings and an upcoming dance recital for my daughter. I’m hoping I

Originally from the East Coast, I now reside in sunny California with my husband and daughter. I am a high school English teacher who moonlights as a fantasy writer (for now). I have always loved reading and writing. I devoured The Lord of the Rings at an early age and was there (in costume) for

The first book I’m trying to finish– I have years worth of outlines, first chapters, and character profiles– by the end of 2025(😬) is inspired by The Little Mermaid. I wanted to invite everyone to follow me down the rabbit hole as I explore the world of sirens, mermaids, princes, and mythology. But that allusion/metaphor
