I Write

I fell in love with writing when I was just a child, crafting poems about magic attics and winged unicorns, and then reciting them at the Lucia May Wyant Speech Contest at my school. Since then, I have written in a great variety of formats, including song lyrics, poems, novels, and more! Some of my creations include:

Books

I am co-author of The Eleven Series fantasy fiction novels with co-author and fellow artist J.J. Bende. Three of the four books in the series have been published, and the last book is due out soon. The book is family-friendly, with an 11-year old girl as protagonist, yet has enough depth to hold the attention of readers of all ages.

You can get a copy of any or all of the published books (Shadow and Light, Clouds of Solitude and Shifting Tides) at Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble.com. You may also learn more about the series on the Eleven Facebook page.

 

Words of Wisdom for Aspiring Authors

Songs and Tracks

I write and produce electronic music and I compose songs in various genres, including solo and choral music for the Columbus Center for Spiritual Living.

I write lyrics and melody for existing tracks, and I can also co-write and co-produce tracks for those who are not familiar with DAWs like Ableton and Garage Band.

I can work with a quick sketch of a few chords and build an entire song with you from there, or I can step in last minute on a nearly-finished electronic track and add a sticky vocal hook that will make your music stand out from the rest.

I can sit down and write spontaneously in an informal jam session, or work in a more formal manner with those who prefer to proceed in a more structured way.

I also help people get over “songwriter’s block” and get back to writing – and finishing – the exciting music they are meant to create.
