I was born and raised in a small town in upstate South Carolina, where my journey as a writer began with blogging. What started as a simple way to share my thoughts and experiences eventually grew into something much more meaningful when I was encouraged to take my writing a step further. My first book, My Paranormal Life: A True Haunting, began as a private journal documenting my family’s experiences with what we believed to be a dark entity. As I continued to write and share my experiences, my journey took me even further. I went on to help co-found both a paranormal team and a cryptid team, allowing me to connect with others who have experienced things they could not easily explain. One of the things I treasure most about this journey is the opportunity to reach out to others and let them know they are not alone. Along the way, I have made many wonderful friends within both the paranormal and cryptid communities. Those friendships have opened the door for me to help others share their own stories. I understand firsthand how deeply personal and powerful these experiences can be. Everyone has a story, and I believe some stories deserve to be heard. By helping bring these experiences to the public, my hope is to contribute to further research and understanding in both fields while also giving those who share their stories a chance to find comfort, understanding, and perhaps even a sense of closure. It is truly an honor to be able to share these incredible accounts and bring you true stories of the unexplained. Thank you for joining me on this journey into the unknown.

My Story

Hi Guys! Glad to have you here. I'm going to do something that I haven't done before. I'm going to tell you MY story. The story of how I became a writer and the strange background that comes with it.
Pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage, and let's just dive right in.

My husband Marty and I were living in a home that had a bit of Paranormal Activity. It wasn't anything major. Things would randomly get moved during the night and you would notice it the next morning. (Coffee creamer out of the kitchen and on the coffee table in the living room.) Just annoying little things. Things would go missing and wind up in places that you had already looked. Things you could just blow off and forget about. And that is pretty much what we did. It became normal day to day life. These things would happen randomly, maybe every other month. So we didn't make much of it. Long story short. My son and daughter in law moved in with a new baby. Things got bad really fast. I ended up contacting a paranormal team. After an investigation, one of the co-founders suggested that I keep the activity documented. That is where the Blog was born, https://a-paranormallife.blogspot.com/ After the investigation and two house blessings later, Marty and I ended up joining the team. The co-founders were awesome mentors and we spent the next few years training with and becoming close friends to these guys. I learned a lot from these two men.
After the third and final house blessing at our home. One of the co-founders asked if he could use my Blog to write our story. I felt honored. Brandon Hudgens worked closely with me to get our story told. In the meantime, Marty and I along with my son and daughter in law founded the Carolina Cryptid crew. ( Which turned six years old yesterday.) I had always been interested in writing. But I never attempted to step out on my own. With Brandon and Marty's encouragement, I wrote my first book about the Carolina Cryptid Crew. From there it took off and I was getting hits from every direction to write a book. I am thankful to Brandon for showing me how to work closely with a client and how to get my book out there. He has played a big part in my becoming an author. And Marty has been so encouraging. He is my number one fan and supporter.

Now, I am an Author with a publicist.(Thank you Cari for taking all of the headache work!) It has been slow coming, but I have quite a few books now., and have met some amazing people. So that's my story.

~~UPDATE~~ I know a few of you found out that I was diagnosed with cancer. Yes. Last February we found out that I had a very aggressive form of breast cancer. After just one Chemo treatment (That almost killed me.) I stopped all treatment and had a lumpectomy. My surgery was last July and by the grace of God, I am doing good today. I have to give credit for my life to God. It was him that got me through this with minimal treatment.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my story. And thank you for supporting me. There are new books coming out every couple of months. Watch for a giveaway coming soon to my Facebook page!
