Why I Write
The truth is … we all deserve to claim the space for our art.
The characters that insist I write their stories want to make amends for what they have done; ease the pain, suffering, or guilt that they have caused. Maybe even make the world a tiny bit better.
I call it ‘redemption fiction’. About a character that has failed as a friend, family member, support person, co-worker.
My hope for each reader is that they clarify complicated issues through the journeys my characters take. You see how the world changes with small kindnesses. You can be the same kind of balm. I hope you read far more grace than judgment in my pages.
If my characters can help a person find solace in this life, then I’m grateful. Read for yourself; let me know.
