I'm a Bellingham native who hasn't left. I briefly studied English Ed at Western Washington University shortly after high school, but I dropped out because I couldn't afford school and never had the motivation to apply for anything more than financial aid prior to entering college. I've always enjoyed writing, but I didn't start writing stories until I started journaling during my tumultuous marriage. Writing has been an incredible release for me, and it has also been an amazing expression of that which I am so blessed to have found now.
