Lost your creative spark? Not sure what to do?
Let me help you find greener pastures.


Are you feeling burned out?
Tired of working to keep up with impossible standards?
Today’s publishing paradigm is broken! And it’s hurting authors.
I help authors communicate easier by connecting their creative spirit with practical action. To do this, I use my over two decades as a published author to create services designed to reduce overwhelm and keep authors focused on what matters to them in order to cultivate creative wellness, prevent and overcome burnout, and create their own publishing career so they can thrive as authors.
Discover your strengths and what’s working for you.
Get help with technical things like your website and newsletter to take more OFF your plate.
Learn to love writing again and jump over any obstacles in your way.
The truth is
The current publishing paradigm treats books like “widgets” produced in a factory and authors like assembly line workers.
That’s a recipe designed to create chronic stress and burnout!
And for authors chronic stress causes
Loss of joy and diminished creativity
Feeling like you have to do more with less resources
Imposter syndrome
Health issues
(and yes, burnout!)
You could stay stuck on the write – publish – promote treadmill and get (or remain) burned out OR YOU COULD
craft the publishing path that works for you and keeps you telling the stories you were meant to tell.
Let’s start this transformation by

Your quest to find greener pastures begins by booking a free call.

Why You Can’t Fail At Publishing
A newsletter hit my inbox a few days ago. The subject line? Why you've already failed at publishing. I looked at it, checked to be sure if I've read it correctly (I had!), blinked a couple of times, and thought "well that was a choice for a headline." And then I got...

Twitter is removing the ability to block. Here’s what it means.
An August 18th Tweet (Xeet?) from the current owner of Twitter/X confirmed what we'd all feared. Blocking would be taken away as a feature, further allowing Twitter/X to platform hate and spew propaganda at its remaining users. As a personal and a business decision,...
