I don’t want to just be your editor—the faceless person behind a screen who judges your hard work. I want you to feel at ease and view me as an actual person.

I jumped into action, running straight to our daughter Ember’s room and swooping her into my arms. I ran into the living room where Lane was running around, frantically deciding what to take with us and asked him what I should grab. Lane stopped briefly, looked at our one-year-old daughter in my arms and said, […]
My husband, Lane, and I had our first daughter, Ember, in October of 2016. We owned a cute little starter home in a small town—the same town that I was born and raised in. But it was only a two-bedroom, one-bath, and now that we were starting our family we were ready to expand our […]
I should have started Red Quill Co LLC over a decade ago! I have always loved the written word. I thought for a time that I would write and publish fiction novels. I can’t tell you how many novels I have started throughout the years, but never saw to completion – some of them I […]
