ABOUT ME
My lifelong goal has always been to write and sew. Now that life has slowed down a little, creating is my main focus. I've rewritten my first book, and it will be republished soon. I've learned quite a bit since my debut in 2018. Some lessons were painful, some were good. All lessons I've learned are valuable. Many more books are in the hopper. I can't wait to share.
​
I published my first non-fiction/bible study, and it is available on Amazon now. I sew and craft, those items are available at local craft fairs and on our website, www.tnusamade.com. Check it out if you get a chance. I'll share some about my crafting journey in the blog as well.
​
As a Christian author and encourager, I strive to encourage women to get their thoughts and ideas on the page. Overcoming trauma is tough business, but with God, all things are possible. How can I help you today?
My life’s purpose is to comfort women, and provide a written beacon of positivity as we travel together through this crazy thing called life! I consider myself a survivor on multiple levels. I will dive into a few of the obstacles I've faced, and how I work on overcoming them. A survivor of sexual assault, domestic abuse, church hurt, and a life-threatening illness, I want to share insight and my story along the way.
I will begin attending author and craft events in East Tennessee soon. I look forward to meeting you in person!
My goal is to post to my blog a minimum of once a week, and create a live video twice a month. I look forward to relaxing and having a comforting cup of coffee or tea with you as we dive in. I plan on hosting random giveaways of items I make too - winners announced in my blog/newsletter. (Subscribe on the Blog page)
