PS
It’s a little early for this announcement; there’s still so much to figure out, but here’s a heads-up.
Something magical is in the works.
A culmination of everything I’ve been working on for over a year. I can’t say what it is just now, but it’s intended to be an ongoing release project, free, enchanted, and for readers and art lovers alike. When I’m closer to the first release, I’ll let you know so make sure you’re on my mailing list for updates. You won’t want to miss this. ?

“Warmhearted, motivational, inspirational. This ethereal story will give your heart wings.”
There’s always been something wrong with me but I’m not sure what. I’ve had daydreams of angels since I was a child, specifically a guardian angel to rescue me from my addicted mom, non-existent father, and friendless existence. But now odd events are happening. Like visitations from a robin, visions I can’t explain, and an out-of-body experience—if that’s what it really was. I’m starting to question everything. What secrets have my parents been keeping? Who am I, really? And could I be worthy of love in more ways than I ever imagined?
