My Story

My why
Not a Writer
I started writing Behind the Bench simply as a way to get our stories on paper for my children. Friends and family often asked to read them and pleaded with me to write a book. Without writing experience, I decided I would do just that. It took seven years and lots of help and encouragement to make this dream come true.

My motivation
Inspiration
The importance of my family is evident in my writing. From personal experiences to universal truths, I weave a tapestry of emotions and reflections in each story, offering readers a glimpse into a very unique, but also very familiar journey through life.

My Desire
Dream Come True
My hope is that as you read my stories—not only do you laugh along the way—but you also find moments that resonate with your own experiences, and come away feeling inspired and fulfilled.
