What kind of writer?

That’s almost always the first question I get whenever I tell people what I do.

I never know, exactly, how to answer. As an author, my debut novel, Leta Pearl’s Love Biscuits is set to release on October 7, 2025.

As a ghostwriter, I write educational email courses for luxury real estate agents where I bring two decades of experience across several industries including for three Fortune 500 companies as an award-winning copywriter and creative brand strategist.

I love the South, and attribute my fascination with Story to having grown up there, in lovely St. Florian (pronounced “Flow—REEN”), Alabama. (That’s just a bit north of Florence, which is pronounced, “Florence.”)

In case academics are your thing, I hold a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in creative writing from the University of California, Riverside and a Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) Degree from the Mississippi College School of Law. (This simply means that out there, somewhere, lies a handful of professors whom I’ve managed to convince that I know a few things.)

Speaking of academics, I have also taught as an adjunct professor and/or instructor at UC San Diego, National University, San Diego Writers, Ink., and Emerald Coast Storytellers.

I’ve included a list of my party tricks and the kind folks who loved them below.
