My Journey
Life wasn’t always as fulfilling as it is today. I once felt stuck in a job that left me drained and unappreciated. Long hours and a lack of purpose made me feel disconnected and trapped.
Everything changed when my grandkids arrived. They reignited a sense of joy I didn’t know I had lost. I started writing children’s stories for them—stories that shared values in a fun and meaningful way. From that love, The Little Labradoodle Series was born.
But as I pursued my passion, I noticed something troubling. Many authors were struggling—some even taken advantage of by predatory publishers. I knew I couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
What began as a small workgroup for children's authors has grown into a thriving program that has empowered over 1,500 authors to bring their stories to life.
Helping authors share their message and mission with the world isn’t just my job—it’s my passion and purpose.
