Literary Aspirations

GENRE

Upmarket Fiction with lyricism and tension

Suspense with quiet dread

Historical Fiction with modern resonance

Female with emotional complexity

My work is atmosphere-driven and female-centered, combining artful prose with commercial appeal.

Florida is wild, complex, and beautiful. My work explores her past while relating to a contemporary audience in the hope of preserving our beautifully wild environment.

DEMOGRAPHICS

For fans of Reese’s Book Club.

A book club audience of women between their thirties and sixties.

This readership is drawn to literary-leaning suspense and atmospheric storytelling with female character arcs.

They stay current on cultural issues and want to learn while being entertained through prose.

I will connect with these readers by curating a strong social media presence and travel.

FLORIDA

Florida is both my heart and home. I would love to immerse readers in her wild beauty.

Florida's biodiverse environment offers an atmosphere begging for a story with springs, caves, estuaries, sinkholes, marshes, swamps, scrub, hardwood hammocks, prairies, and coquina rock beaches.

I use these rich biosphere regions as the stage for my storytelling.

INSPIRATION

Delia Owens, Liz Moore, Emilia Hart, Amity Gaige, Charlotte McConaghy, and Barbara Kingsolver

for their lyrical prose, tangible sense of place, resilient female characters, and transportive stories.

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Zora Neale Hurston, and Flannery O’Conner

for their authentic portrayal of regional culture through masterful storytelling.

Donna Everhart, Mary Grace Colangelo, Laura Barrow, and Madeline Martin

EXPERTISE

I welcome professional feedback in crafting works of fiction that will stand the test of time.

I am also committed to working hard so that I may be a valuable contributor to the publishing world.

As an entrepreneur, I am excited to learn about the business side of authorship. My current schedule as an editorial photographer is flexible as I can limit my commissions.
