I wrote the 1st draft of Loophole in 2022, when I was pregnant with my daughter. A lot has changed since then, but my mission with this novel remains the same: to provide positive coping skills for children dealing with anxiety! 🥰

Sniffling the snot back into my nose, I point to the door. Aunt Julie’s face sags, but she gathers her drink and purse. Lost to silent worries, we exit the coffee shop together but somehow universes apart.

I started chasing my dream of becoming an #author during the pandemic. 5 years later, I have 2 published books and plenty of lessons learned.

My main piece of writing advice for authors? 🤔
BETA READ MANY MANUSCRIPTS. 🤓
You'll learn so much through reading others' work.

My almost 3 y/o daughter while playing with her toys (having them look out a window):
"Look at the world! Wow! The world is so beautiful!"

Just in case you needed a reminder to appreciate our lovely planet. 😍🌎
