Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2026, my friends! New Years has always fascinated me. So many embark on the uncharted terrain that reveals itself in the early days of January, expecting to be a “new” or “better” version of themselves than they were the last 365 days. However, as I press forward into the new year, I realize…

Happy Women’s History month! I have numerous subjects and topics to explore in the near future, and I have chosen to focus on important female writers in history as the beginning. Stay tuned for my newest soon-to-be published article about the Brontë sisters!

Hello and happy weekend! I am pleased to announce that not only have I been added as a writer to the history forum, Frame of Reference, they have published my new article, “We Are Three Sisters.” The legacy of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë! The Brontë sisters were true trailblazers for women in literature history. All three successfully published books in 1847 under male pseudonyms, however later they revealed their identities with Charlotte’s bold declaration, “We three are sisters.” You can find the link to my article below.

I chose the Brontë sisters as my first topic due to their historical significance of course, but also due to the fantastic discussions I’ve had with my sister, Kylie in recent months. We recently began our own book club together, choosing the works of the Brontë sisters as our first assignments. As a result of our discussions, I became fascinated by the history of the Brontë sisters and knew their history was a story worth telling. I hope you enjoy reading about these amazing women!

Hello, All! Anyone who is a fan of crime and mystery is well-acquainted with the name of Agatha Christie. She has sold more novels in literary history than any other female in history. She is outsold only by the bible and William Shakespeare. Her imagination and creativity are truly one of a kind. Check out my latest article below about the one and only Queen of Crime- Dame Agatha Christie.
