I illustrated children’s books for several years before I tried writing.
I found writing for children to be much harder than I ever imagined! After taking classes, attending conferences, and workshopping many different manuscripts, I finally felt ready to have others review my work. I’m glad I put in so much effort because now I’m ready!

I wrote the book Kindred Spirit: Shilombish Ittibachʋffa, which will be released in July of 2024!

I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed the writing process.

Yakoke, (Thank you)
