Writer & Website Guide
Explore My Work
During my years working in web content and digital marketing, I had a secret plan: learn everything I could, then use it to build a creative life on my own terms as a writer and artist. At first, that was it. Then others in my creative community had questions about their websites, and I realized I had the answers. Now, I split my time between playing in my own worlds with morally fluid characters and helping writers and artists understand what their websites need.
Writing
I’m known for my non-fiction articles and profiles on businesses in the South, but I also write genre-blending fiction full of swashbuckling adventures, resilient heroines, dark secrets, and all the charms and quirks of a morally-flexible cast.
My current work in progress is a sci-fi noir heist with intention-sensing machines in a 1930s-style cityscape.
Website Guidance
Are you working on your first website to share your creative identity with the world? Wondering whether you even need one right now?
I work with writers and artists to clarify why their websites exist and how it fits into their creative life. I bring my insight and experience as a writer, web content specialist, and website manager to help my clients understand what belongs on their websites and when they’re ready to start building.
