WHEN THE SUN SETS is a short story memoir on my experience with my mom when she was diagnosed with early onset dementia. Despite my training as an RN, nothing prepared me for when my aging mother would become a victim to the disease. #dementiacaregiver #dementiasupport #dementia #healthcarestories

Wishing all a prosperous and abundant new year 🧧🧨🐴 #lunarnewyear #chucmungnammoi #tet #yearofthehorse

In a world with so much chaos, I can only focus on me. Life is too short to be angry. To be unhappy. To be sad. Life is a gift, and I intend to live my remaining years to the fullest extent. Stories I shall write. Memories I shall make. The question is: will you join me?

Tons of blood, sweat, and tears … but I’d do it all over again. 2 books down and reentering query soon with a 3rd one in the making. And I’m already plotting the 4th in my mind 🦾 #writingcommunity #debutauthor #storyteller #writerslife #writingadvice

I write medical thrillers with dark realism for readers who know survival comes at a cost. #medicalthriller #psychologicalthriller #writingcommunity #nurselife #bookish
