“Deep in the unsettling heart of my new psychological thriller today… I love when a characters surprise me.
Do you prefer thrillers that start slow and eerie or open with a punch?”

Thrillers own my heart—nothing beats a killer opening line. 👀
One of my favorites:

“Alicia Berenson was thirty-three years old when she killed her husband.”

What first line hooked you?

First real snowfall of the season. Quiet, soft, and a little magical before tomorrow’s big storm. The dogs want to play, and I just want to write under a heated blanket and pretend shoveling isn’t in my future. ❄️✨

Starting a new book while my memoir is in production, and the creative spark feels so good. ✨
Writers—how often are you writing, and how do you balance it with a full-time job?

I swear the timing of life is wild. 😂

Right after my cover reveal and committing to self-publish…
an email pops up from a literary agent asking for the first 50 pages.

Whatever happens, I’m just excited (and slightly stunned). 💜

Cover mock-up reveal.

“A sharp, rhythmic click-click… steady as a metronome. I searched the room for the noise. But it wasn’t the clock. It wasn’t the house.
It was me.”

Every part of this book comes from surviving what tried to break me.

Planner open, coffee close, and a reminder that compassion for others and myself takes time.

Writing a memoir means sorting through emotions and the messy parts of being human. Today I’m giving myself space to breathe. Reminder,one page at a time.

Day 2 of stepping into this new author life.
This was my manuscript before it even had a title — just a stack of pages and a story I hoped mattered.
Now it’s becoming Built From the Broken, and it finally feels real.
