Hi Wattpadders! I'm a bibliophile, writer, therapist, meditation instructor and mom to an amazing girl. Through her, I'm revisiting all the stories I grew up with...and that means plenty of Disney movies. "Ursula's Beginning" is what emerged after watching "The Little Mermaid" with my daughter. Every day. For three weeks. This was in the summer of 2016, and Ursula's backstory took me two years to produce. It is my first novel-length work. 

There are short stories, novels with original characters, children's books, and more adult Disney creations swirling around in my mind. Please follow me to see what's next.

Whether you love or hate the new live-action Little Mermaid movie (I have yet to see it), now is a good time to share Ursula's Beginning with someone that you know would love the story!
