Being at the “Author of the Year” Hollywood Grand Awards Gala in October, 2026 was manifestation of what I hoped to accomplish when I first started writing in January, 2009!
Proverbs 3:5-6 has definitely been my guiding light! 🙏🏽
Sharing memories from Hollywood! Thank you Nim Stant and your International Impact Book Awards team for honoring all the finalists for AUTHOR OF THE YEAR!
THIS!!! 🙏🏽🥰🙌🏽
❤️ This is happening!
❤️ This is something I never would have dreamed would ever happen!
❤️ This is something I give all the glory and honor to God!
I’m going to HOLLYWOOD! 🙌🏽
As an AUTHOR OF THE YEAR FINALIST, it’s not that I want to be seen or heard. I’m just the author. It’s the message INSIDE the book that needs to be shared around the world. “Adam and Ava Visit a Special House” centers around hope, friendship & kindness.
My heart is filled with gratitude! What an honor that Kristy Dunaway, the Community Impact Coordinator at @rmhcmemphis distributed my books to all the teachers at Ross Elementary to read to their students! Kristy is pictured here with the school librarian.
The 901 Book Festival in Memphis was a fabulous event, the biggest and most successful in-person book event I've ever participated in with my Adam and Ava children's books! Whether they bought a book or not, I had freebies for all to take Adam and Ava home with them!
📣 Books for all ages and giveaways! 📚 Come out and bring your littles! I’ll be there with my Adam and Ava children’s books! 😊
✨👉🏽 Sunday, March 15th, 1:00-5:00 PM

Here’s a peek at my first library story time (featuring my 4 children’s books) with this little cutie as my co-host! It was totally unscripted, and she nailed it.
I’m incredibly honored that Nashville Voyager featured me as a rising star in their magazine. This was an opportunity to highlight the children's book I wrote in collaboration with @rmhcmemphis

Some dreams are realized before they are ever dreamed. This is one such time because I never would have imagined that my new children’s book would travel over 8,000 miles from the USA to reach this school in Uganda.
As an author, nothing prepared me for this! If you could see me, you’d know what tears of joy look like!
From the USA to Uganda, the message inside “Adam and Ava Visit a Special House” is universal. #kindness#childrensbook
It’s also an #InternationalImpactBookAwards winner!
