Navigating the Depths of True Crime and History
My journey into the world of true crime storytelling began in 2014, marking the start of what has become both a passion and a vocation. Over the years, I have published four books, with two more ideas currently brewing, each one delving into the significant criminal cases of my beloved home state of Georgia. My transition from a middle school teacher to a true crime author has been driven by a deep fascination with local history and a commitment to shedding light on the truth behind each story.
My background is a tapestry of experiences and education that uniquely qualifies me for this work. With associate degrees in Criminal Justice and Crime Scene Technology, I have a foundational understanding of the legal and investigative aspects of the stories I tell. These academic achievements, coupled with thirteen years of classroom teaching, have equipped me with the skills to research deeply and communicate effectively, enabling me to craft narratives that are as informative as they are engaging.
Having spent a decade in the writing business, I've not only written books but have also embarked on a mission to bridge the gap between past and present. My work aims to do more than recount the facts of a case; it seeks to explore the human element, the societal implications, and the ripple effects of crime through time. Each of my books is a journey into the heart of Georgia, offering readers a chance to understand the complexities of its most pivotal criminal cases beyond the headlines.
As I continue to write and explore Georgia's rich and often tumultuous history, I see my role as a storyteller as one of both responsibility and privilege. My aim is to bring these stories to life in a way that respects the truth, honors those involved, and engages the reader on every level. Through my books, I strive to be a voice for those stories that might otherwise be forgotten, ensuring they are remembered and reflected upon. It is my hope that my work not only captivates those who share my interest in true crime and history but also contributes to a deeper understanding of the human condition and the ever-evolving narrative of justice.
