POV: You stayed up all night bringing a story to life, and now it is yours to hear. My audiobook, The Missing Camera Mystery, is live on YouTube. All 20 chapters, read to you, with Mack the moose along for the ride. Come listen. Audio is new to the collection of things to learn lol but everything that can be will be in audio as well.

Chapter 1: Before the Sun from The Missing Camera Mystery, an Alask...

I am so grateful...just looking back at things.
More to come: They counted me out. But God looked at what was in my hands and said, use that.

I did not have much. Just words. Just stories. Just a heart that refused to quit and a faith that stayed steady since the day I got saved and weathered many storms.

So I wrote. One word at a time. 19 books. Each one a little light pushed into a dark place. Each one proof that you do not need a lot. You just need to use what you have.

Look at your hands today. What is in them? A voice. A story. A kindness. A prayer. That is enough. That is your starting place.

The world around you is waiting for the positivity only you can bring. Do not wait until you feel ready. Do not wait until they approve. Start with what is in your hands.

When people say you can't, let your life be the testimony: YOU CAN.
Your voice matters. 💛

When the characters in my imagination finally agree to take a family photo… 😂💛 What else can happen when you let your imagination loose. I will be spending winter with art and writting and some photography. Medically im homebound just hanging out. Work is this now a days....why not be creative in all possible ways...

Spud showed up with a peace offering.
Birdie showed up ready for the drama.
And Mack showed up wondering why the potato already has a book.

Don’t worry, Mack. Your story is coming soon too. Hopefully, the jealous side eye will disappear once he becomes the star of his own adventure.

Hopefully.

Mack is also a prankster, so I have a feeling jealousy may be the least of our problems. Between his sneaky ideas, Spud’s talent for avoiding anything that resembles effort, Birdie’s endless curiosity, and me trying to keep everyone under control, who knows what we will all get into out here in Alaska.

There could be wilderness adventures, surprise photo trips, missing snacks, suspicious antler activity, and at least one prank Mack will insist was an accident.

This picture feels like a little glimpse inside my imagination, where characters arrive with personalities of their own and somehow begin creating their stories before I have even finished writing them.

Spud and Birdie already have their adventures. Mack’s story is coming soon. And this may be the first time they have all appeared together, but I seriously doubt it will be the last.

Every Story Begins with Love. 💛

Finding the story, unposed.

In the quiet, I am listening and watching for stories to scream.

A captain’s hat resting where it was left. The lines of a historic ship reaching toward the sky. A tiny ladybug hidden among the flowers.

None of these moments were arranged. They were already speaking. I only had to become still enough to hear them and observant enough to capture them.

While others may pass by, I notice what is quietly happening right beside us. That is where I often find the stories waiting to be seen. 💙📸

What is in your hands?

God asked Moses, “What is that in thine hand?” It was only a rod, but surrendered to God, it became part of something much greater.

Sometimes we focus so much on what we no longer have that we overlook what God has already placed within our reach.

My body has slowed down, and my camera may be at rest right now, but the work is not. I still have my voice, my experiences, my faith, and a neurodivergent brain that does not stop creating lol. Since April, I have been turning those things into books, and there are more to come.

You may not have everything you wish you had, but what is in your hands today? Begin there. Use what you have. Take the step you can take, and trust God with what grows from it. 💙

“What is that in thine hand?” Exodus 4:2 KJV

📚✨ **People have been asking for awhile now. People have been intrigued. So… here’s the answer! **

NO GATEKEEPING HERE!!!

**YOUR VOICE MATTERS** is here. ❤️

And yes ...**the pages you see in this photo are actual pages from inside the book! ** 👀📖 I wanted to give you a little peek at what you'll actually be working through.

I created this step-by-step writing guide for people who have a book idea, a story, knowledge, or something they want to share but aren't quite sure how to turn it into an actual book.

And before you start, grab two things:

🖊️ **A PEN AND SOME PAPER! **

Especially if you're reading the Kindle version! There are exercises throughout the book that ask you to stop, think, brainstorm, and actually begin putting **YOUR book** together as you go.

We'll work through your reason for writing, your reader, your ideas, characters, story structure, nonfiction, research, voice, revising, planning and more.

🎙️ **I've also personally interviewed other authors! **

If you'd like to hear from authors themselves and learn about their experiences, writing, books, and journeys, you can find the author interviews I've done for **Oil Runners Broadcast** on YouTube:

▶️ ****

I believe we can learn so much by asking questions, listening to other people's experiences, paying attention, and then taking what we learn and using it to find our own way.

You don't have to know everything before you start.

Bring the messy idea.
Bring the questions.
Bring the paper.
Bring the pen. 😂🖊️

**Then start. **

📱 **Available NOW on Kindle**
📖 **Paperback coming soon! **

❤️ **Your story has value. Your voice matters. **

✈️ BALCONY LIFE
ALASKA STYLE
taken in my pajamas lol

Sometimes photography is about going somewhere to find the shot.

And sometimes… you walk out onto your balcony and the Blue Angels fly right into your view. 💙💛

I caught this moment from home, and yes this image has intentionally been altered a little and heavily marked for posting. The original photograph is clean, clear, and safely tucked away. 😉

As a photographer, I love sharing what I see through my lens, but protecting my work matters too. So sometimes you’ll see a purposely “messed up” version online while the real photograph stays protected.

Because Alaska has taught me something:

You never really know what you're going to see when you look outside.

Today it happened to be the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. ✈️

🎬 It's finally here.

There are stories that come together in a few weeks...

And then there are stories that take years to live before you can find the words to write them.

Learning to Stay is one of those stories.

Growing up as a military BRAT taught me how to move, adapt, and begin again. But life taught me something even greater that the hardest journey isn't always learning how to leave... it's learning how to stay.

Today, I'm excited to share the official book trailer.

My hope is that whether you've moved across the world, started over more times than you can count, or simply found yourself searching for where you belong, you'll see a little piece of yourself in this journey.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me, supported my books, shared my work, and believed in this dream. Every message, every share, and every reader reminds me why I keep creating.

I'd love to hear what you think of the trailer.

Have you ever had to start over somewhere new? I'd love to hear your story.

Every great reader starts with one letter. ❤️

There is something special about watching a child recognize a letter for the very first time.

My ABC Coloring Book was created to make learning simple, creative, and fun. Every page gives children an opportunity to color, practice, and build confidence one letter at a time.

Whether you're a parent, grandparent, homeschool family, teacher, or looking for a thoughtful gift, I hope this book brings smiles, imagination, and a love of learning into your home.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support this journey. Seeing my books reach families around the country and around the world is something I never take for granted.

I'd love to know...
What was your favorite letter to learn when you were little?
