About



Hi! It's me, The Freckled Writer!

Since you're here, you probably want to know a little about me.

I'm a Daughter of the One True King. Which means that what I believe about God and myself and the world around me will influence my writing and the way I read books.

I write. I write a lot actually. I write when I'm working. I write when I'm trying to sleep. I write when I'm doing dishes. I'm actually writing right now. My brain is writing All. The. Time. (If you pop over to the "My Writings" tab, you can check out some of my work and current projects!)

I love books. I love them so much that my ultimate dream is to get locked in a library overnight so that I can wander the bookshelves, feeling the book covers, smelling the pages, enveloped in stories for hours upon hours. I actually get giddy when I visit bookstores. It might be a reading addiction. Does anyone know a good support group?

What are my favorite genres to read and write?
To be honest, I will read anything that peaks my interest!
But for writing, I typically write fantasy or historical fiction with lot of action/suspense and a dash of magic ;)


Have I met any authors?
Yes, I have and it was amazing!! I've eaten tacos with Stephanie Morrill, fist-bumped Shannon Hale, talked short stories with Daniel Schwabauer, had Chuck Black sign my bookmark, asked Wayne Thomas Batson about courage, given my book to Jonathan Friesen to sign, waited in line with Sabaa Tahir, sat behind Ally Condie, and dreamed with Nadine Brandes about opening a boba tea/book store. (I will unashamedly say that I totally fangirled in each and every situation.)

Is there anything you do BESIDES reading? Maybe? Reading = Breathing, just sayin'. You'll have to ask my friends if I do anything else.*shrugs*


I'll see you around the next book page! ;)
