My literary and artistic journey includes several notable achievements. My novel, The Annunciation, was a finalist in both the Indy Book Awards and the Christian category of the International Impact Award competition. I authored a multimedia children's book titled Two Stones, which includes video content and was republished by Genre Library Solutions. My collection of metaphysical short stories, Beyond, published by CreateSpace (Amazon), was recognized in competition at Shelf Unbound. Additionally, I wrote The Mound, a middle school novella, and have a draft novel titled Tell Me the Story of Wounded Knee, which follows a middle school girl reflecting on her social studies teacher. My feature film, Going Back, starring Bruce Campbell, is available for streaming on Amazon Prime. I also wrote an unpublished screenplay titled Contest of Speed, a coming-of-age story set in Detroit. As an art critic, I have contributed over 250 reviews to the Detroit Art Review.
