Who is Thea?

Author, Baker, and Chicken Tender (because I tend to chickens. Get it? I crack myself up!) are just a few of my titles. Aside from corny jokes and desserts, I love creating things. Whether it's a new recipe, a crochet project, or art with small humans, if I am making something, I am happy.

I live in a very old little house in the Appalachian Mountains with my family and a menagerie of animals. The woods are my happy place, inspiring the settings to many of my stories.

With an overactive imagination and a mind riddled with ADHD, I write fantasy stories that take readers into worlds of magic where anything can happen!

Stories used to be an escape for me. As a kid, in a world that didn't care and certainly didn't understand, I created my own fantasy world where I felt like I belonged.

Years later I have found my place and the people with whom I belong. Now, I write to share these stories with others who might feel the same way.

These stories are meant for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t quite fit in.
