Falling in love with stories.

Looking back now, hobbies and events in my life pointed to a love of writing stories. And that’s really what I consider myself, a storyteller, rather than a writer. I’ve always loved telling and hearing stories. As a kid, I would dream up adventures and scenarios that would keep me busy all day.

After high school, I developed an interest in film and telling stories through that medium. In college, I chose broadcasting as my area of study, and loved it! But after college I struggled with what direction to take my career. I reluctantly took a job working for the family business but something kept nagging at me… 

In September 2012, I pulled out an old journal my sister had given me a few Christmas’ ago, and decided to do something that terrified me. I wrote down the beginnings of a story that had floated around in my mind for years. It was only a few pages of sketched out notes, but I remember closing the cover rather defiantly and thinking, good, I’ve got it out of my system.

Those scribbles were the beginnings of my Camilla Crim series.

I wish I could remember how, but somehow later that month, I stumbled across a program called National Novel Writing Month (www.nanowrimo.com). The program, which was to begin in just a few days, was a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. I started midnight on November 1st with no plan, no outline, and no idea where this would take me. In December, when the challenge was over, I didn’t stop writing and haven’t stopped since then.

What I stand for:

If you’ve made it this far then congrats! I’ll tell you a bit more about myself. I’m a born-again Christian which means I allow the principles of the bible to guide my life and my writing. My stories are clean. They’re full of adventure and passion, but you won’t find any curse words or sex scenes.

When was the last time you thought about where you will go when you die? Deep, right? Maybe you’ve never thought about it. If this intrigues you, I encourage you to go read: Are you Looking for Something?
