She also loves to share her passion for the creative process and all that she’s learned through leading and teaching at The Writers Circle. At her events and book talks, she will even include creative writing prompts and exercises to engage participants and listeners to discover their own creative voice.

It’s nights like these that I am able to say “this is why I do this” …
