Back at the Desk

Hey, It’s Been a Minute

I know it’s been quiet around here, so I thought I’d sit down and share what’s been going on.

Back in 2023, I went through brain surgery. Recovery was a journey in itself, and as soon as I was well enough, I had to get back to work. By the time 2024 rolled around, I found myself picking up a second job just to keep things afloat. That meant my writing, the thing that really feeds me fed my soul had to wait.

But writing has a way of sneaking back in, even when life is heavy. I started jotting down little things when I could. Nothing big at first, just the need to get words out of my head and onto paper. Slowly, those scribbles grew into something more. Before I knew it, the pieces started forming a story. That story became Widow Tales. A second chance romance for anyone who has lost love.

Now, I’m in a place where I can breathe a little and give my passion the attention it deserves. And to those of you who’ve stuck with me through the silence—thank you. Truly. Your patience and support mean the world.

I can’t wait to share this debut novel with you, piece by piece, as it comes to life. This space will be where I talk about writing, about Widow Tales, and about the journey of finding my way back to myself.

Here’s to new chapters.

Hi, I’m T—a storyteller, a widow, and someone who believes that healing and hope can be found in the pages of a good book. Writing has always been my way of making sense of the world, but after a few detours (including brain surgery, double shifts, and life showing me its toughest side), I’ve come back to the page with more fire than ever. Widow Tales is my debut, born from late-night scribbles and quiet moments where grief met imagination. It’s a love letter to second chances, resilience, and the kind of romance that makes you laugh, cry, and maybe blush a little too. When I’m not writing, you can usually find me with a good playlist, a journal close by, and probably talking to my husky and cats like they're my manager or my editors. This space is where I’ll share pieces of my journey...writing, life, and everything in between. Pull up a chair, you’re welcome here.
