I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1987, where the rivers meet and the seasons shift with purpose. St. Louis taught me my first lessons: to stand firm in storms, to listen more than I speak, and to value the roots that keep you steady.
In 1999, life carried me to Georgia, where the magnolias bloom and the air hums with summer stories. Georgia became the place where I learned to grow, to dream, and to let the sun reach the places in me that had never seen its light.
Both places live in my heart. The Midwest gave me my foundation; the South gave me my wings. Together, they shaped my voice, a voice that weaves truth, tradition, and a touch of the mystical into every story I write.
Through Lucys Pen Publishing, I honor where I’ve been and imagine where we can go. My words are rooted in legacy and possibility, meant to heal, inspire, and linger like a well-loved family recipe. Whether on the page, through music, or in conversation, I create to preserve memory, illuminate truth, and keep the stories warm for those who come after us.
