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

Create A Journey
Now that we have the key to your creative genius, we’ll craft a journey toward creative wellness. This is no turn-by-turn boring GPS; it’s filled with landmarks and sights you’ll want to see.
Your quest to find greener pastures begins by booking a free call.

The Best Gift for Authors During the Holidays
The best gift for authors isn't something that costs a lot of money. I'm not pushing you to buy any of my courses or book any sessions with me. There are no holiday discounts. That's because the best gift you can give the author in your life is the gift of time so...
Take Advantage of Free Verification on Bluesky and Mastodon
You can be anyone you want to be on the internet, and it's true. I once ran a short-lived social media account for SuperDuck, my pet house duck. As far as I know I'm not a duck, though my duck thinks that he's a "people". Meta allows you to pay to get a "blue check"...
How To Write When Your Mind Goes Blank
One of the most frustrating symptoms of my ADHD is when I'm writing a blog and my mind just stops. My mind goes blank. That train of thought has left the station without informing me of its destination, and I'm left staring at a blank screen wondering what the hell...
