2025 Launch

Hello and thank you for visiting. My goal is to have The Stowaway ready for you to read 📖 in 2025 with my publisher.

The Story

A PEAK INSIDE THE BOOK

available worldwide in 2025

My book will be available via my publisher at all major bookstores worldwide and digitally at Amazon.

Due to popular demand, I have decided to add ‘Rules for a Knight / Lady,’ a playbook.

My book is Dedicated

To my dad who taught me how to live and whose integrity, goodness, drive, love of life, and huge heart inspire me every day. 

I have always enjoyed exploring since I was a little girl. I used to wander off on hikes in the mountains by myself at the age of nine. I had training at home and at school to keep me safe. Something about being in nature and in the wild appeals to my heart. It is liberating, and it also helps me remember who I am, what I love, and how to reconnect with this mysterious planet that we call home.

Charting the unknown can be exciting and also challenging. Set in the 12th century, my story is a fantasy, which gives me room to imagine and dream up possibilities. However, I still want the story to be grounded in place and human traditions of the period so readers will easily relate. Hence, I've explored local customs of how people lived, dressed, communicated, and traveled to create an authentic story.

The water plays a significant role, from Ana first traveling on board her father's ship to battles with warring clans and unexpected mysterious forces.

Animals ♥️✨

Protecting and caring for animals matters to me. We live in a time where animals live at our mercy. Their survival and ability to flourish require human support and understanding. As a little girl, I loved taking care of animals ranging from squirrels and birds to dogs and cats with my dad. Back then, I intended to be a veterinarian. I also loved lynxes — my favorite animal because of their majestic, amazing presence, remarkable instincts, and intelligence. Today, many years later, I aim to help through animal stewardship in several ways — supporting animal sanctuaries, a growing vet alliance, and worthy animal organizations through sales of my book.
