Become an Unstoppable Storyteller, 2nd Ed.

I am the Author Alchemist. I help writers take the leap from “not writing” to WRITING ALL THE THINGS by providing time-honored, proven tools leavened with encouragement and inspiration that will make the magic happen on the page, no matter how scared or intimidated you are.

I LOVE empowering writers to tell their stories!

What I do NOT love is the hell writers put ourselves through during the journey that is writing. We are our own worst enemies, most of the time. The rest of the time, we have everyone around us saying, “well don’t quit your day job, writing doesn’t pay the bills.” Or, “writing is hard!” Or, “that’s just a hobby.” Our creativity is undervalued and our writing is dismissed.

As a professional, published author, I’ve met those demons head on — still do, sometimes. I’m not immune to dropping a story halfway through for long stretches of time, or failing to start a story because, hey, hasn’t it all been done before anyway??? I get it. I really do.

Every week I load you up with encouragement, affirmations, inspiration, and a shoulder to cry on! You can listen here or anywhere you like to tune into podcasts!
