An Atlanta, Georgia based Writer & Author.
Words flow from my soul through the ink in my pen, to tear stains on my paper. I am my shadow, my darkness.

This is me.
I write about depression & anxiety from my personal experiences. I also write fictional short erotica stories.
DEPRESSION
"I’ve felt depression lingering in the shadows and trying hard to overwhelm me into a state of debilitation. Many times over the last weeks, I’ve had to make a choice, let it take over or stand up and fight." - Depression: Learning to Release the Overwhelm
*****
"Whether in part or in completeness, some people simply don’t have the compassion and they don’t get depression’s truth. To some people, those of us that battle depression on a daily basis are seen as weak, lazy, cowardly and somehow unworthy of a voice. We are told to “Suck it up” and “Get over it” sometimes we are told to “Get off our lazy asses and do something”. Other times, we are told that we are being “too sensitive” or we are “whining”. “Don’t be such a baby, get out of bed and get on with your life.”

Don’t these people think we would if we could? Do they really think that we enjoy feeling like this?" - What You Might Not Understand About Depression (2016)

EROTICA
​
"Her heart pounded in her chest, and the urge to close the space between them was so strong that she could barely contain it. He was right there in front of her. No one else was around, and the alley provided a cloak of darkness. He could take her in the back of the cruiser and no one would be the wiser. Part of her wanted him to, and the other part of her wanted to remain the 'good girl' everyone knew her to be. She was, she was good, but officer Johns made her want to be very bad." - Clermont Nights: Sleepless Nights & Blue Lights

In the beginning and moving forward.
I began my writing career writing erotic poetry. That has evolved into short stories in the erotica genre. I've written many things over the last decade and more. My writing career has been a wonderful journey of self discovery and catharsis. Through the years, I decided to write about the things that hurt the most. It was my choice of therapy in a way. Writing about my depression and anxiety gave me a way out of it. What I didn't expect was the impact it would have on my readers.
I still write for myself, but I publish for my readers.
