Dearest all, All I can say is, please support your girl by preordering Blue Scapes. My chapbook is hand made and put together with love. The poems are the vulnerable musings of a once-child. The writer is wide-eyed in a dreamworld of her making.

Writing takes time. But I hope you sit with your work. Don’t worry about what everyone else is publishing. You are in your own lane. Every writer is an apprentice at the desk. Each with their number of years. Your one year apprenticeship is not the same as another’s ten years at the desk. You are putting in your years too. Pay attention to what your work teaches you about yourself, your craft, and the themes you like to explore. You can’t give what you don’t have. You will be published. And your applause will be there for you. Be patient.
