Just when you think things couldn’t get better, THEY DO! 🎉😭
Thrilled to announce that I’m now rep’d by @andiesmithbooks & the incredible team at Creative Media Agency!
It feels like making it to the Writers Olympics, part 2!
WHAT A WEEK!

YEARS OF DETERMINATION & GRIT
I promised my under-the-sea friends I would help them.
Has it been hard? Yes. Unbelievably.
But I’m so proud of what I’ve done…AND I’M JUST GETTING STARTED!
