As of mid-January, I've been most recently actively working with a few authors I've had the pleasure of helping in the past. It's always an honor when a client returns to me with a new work! The following works will be published very soon: a collection of letters written to explore faith and mental health, and a previously written doctoral thesis, now being revised for general readers. Another author whom I worked with on her manuscript last year is anxiously awaiting her publisher's release of her memoir/devotional that explores overcoming trauma and addiction to gaining a vibrant spiritual life.
Next up, I'm proofreading and formatting a new author's novel, and I will be helping a previous author I've edited and formatted for with a brand new edition of their work.
Contact me now to reserve time on my schedule in the Spring for work on manuscript editing, interior design and layout, or ebook formatting!

Hanna Faulks is an author I've had the pleasure of working with previously as editor and interior designer for her fiction work, The Other World (2021). This time, Hanna has produced a non-fiction work that will help us all to lean in, listen to, and trust the voice of wisdom in our lives.
The challenge of time away from loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent exposure to difficult emotions motivated Hanna Faulks, a practicing mental health doctor, to compose a booklet of encouragement for herself. The writings, designed to be read on some of the darker days, sounded like they came from her stronger self. The habit of tuning in to her own inner source of inspiration grew, and that theme forms the basis of Letters to Myself: A Traveller’s Guide to Inner Wisdom. Hanna’s contemplations on psychosocial themes will help you reconsider your satisfaction with how you are living out your personal life journey.
* Do you make it a practice to listen to your inner voice, which speaks to you from a place of positive guidance?
* Can you distinguish its wisdom from the noise of the outside world and negative influences from your past or present?
* Do you recognize and make space for the voices of fellow travelers who support you and encourage you to pursue your dreams?
Through gentle, meditative self-reflection, you can develop the confidence to follow your inner voice that reflects the goodness of the Divine woven throughout the universe. Informed by psychological science and inspired by spirituality, you can improve your relationships and cultivate a life where you fulfill your innermost longings and dreams. When you lean in, listen, and learn to trust your inner wisdom, you can live life to its fullest while knowing, being, and expressing your most authentic self.
Letters to Myself will be available soon on Amazon as a paperback or eBook.

Ion Grumeza, PhD, whom I've worked with on three previous books, will soon be releasing his metaphysical philosophy, Effectology: The Study of Accidents and Their Effects. It is a culmination of his reflections on the importance of accidents and their effects in natural history, science, medicine, human history, current events, and our personal lives. The book contains a massive collection of thoughts and examples. He began formulating and writing on the topic for his dissertation and has now expanded and refined it for presentation to general readers. He invites readers to consider this new philosophy and to add their own thoughtful additions as he believes Effectology has the potential to shape our futures.

Who Told You You Were Naked? is Elizabeth Clements' first book: it's a combined memoir and scripture study. It was my pleasure to work with Elizabeth as editor!

If she didn’t confront her problem with consumption, she would surely be consumed by it.
Overwhelmed with anxiety, depression and hopelessness, Elizabeth was at a breaking point. She had a decision to make. Continue down the road of addiction to alcohol and cigarettes, eating disorders, shopping, and men, or figure out why she ached inside and kept running to toxic fetishes to satisfy her unquenchable appetite? Elizabeth chose healing. She sought out multiple forms of therapy and tried out various religions. But it wasn’t until she rekindled her faith in Jesus, instilled in her as a child, that she began to discover the genuine transformation she longed to experience.
Who Told You You Were Naked? is Elizabeth’s uncensored story of who she was before her radical encounter with the Lord and who she is becoming as a follower of Him. Leaning into the unconditional love of Jesus changed the trajectory of her life.
This raw and honest account of one woman’s transformational journey serves as a reminder to anyone caught in the tangles of mental illness, stubborn addiction, or with a downcast and dissatisfied outlook on life that the light of hope shines even in the darkest circumstances.
Releasing in March 2024. Available now for preorder on BarnesandNoble.com
