For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to write. Mom kept all my stories from middle school in a box that she carted around to the different places we lived throughout my childhood. Once I finally spread my wings and moved from home, she gave me the box of all the little keepsakes she had been holding onto.

When I finally decided to riffle through the box, my heart swelled when I flipped through all the stories I had written. I dreamt of picking up the hobby again but always managed to put the thought on the back burner as I continued to navigate life.

In my early twenties, my grandmother, who I call – Nan, has always been a fraction away from being classified as bat shit crazy. She doesn’t fit your stereotypical view of an old grandmother. She is a legend. She is funny, and I wondered how we kids survived her antics.

With a burning desire to share her life and all the crazy stories I had to tell, I decided I would eventually, one day, write a book. Whenever something funny happened, I would write it on paper and stash it away in a keepsake box for the day when I found the courage to put it all together in a novel.

May 2022 rolled around, and I finally followed my lifelong writing dream. My fingers to the keyboard, I wrote my little heart out. Before I knew it, I had a business book written and Nan’s book – This is Nanny Joan completed.  

Since that time, I’ve become obsessed! I can’t get enough and feel as though I’ve opened a floodgate inside the creative part of my brain that I’ve kept locked away for years. By 2023, I’d published six novels across multiple genres and have zero intention of stopping.

I would if I could quit my job tomorrow and write for the rest of my days. In a heartbeat!

Once you find your passion, that little thing is like a breath of fresh air. Whatever it is that gives you a purpose – do it! For the love of God, do it!
