Long story short, I found myself at a crossroads after 12+ years in corporate America, staring mindlessly at a sales screen 40 hours per week—which I consider taking the very unscenic route in life— came the year 2020, and it was COVID. The world was shutting down, and I finally had spare time to write!

My French Bulldog, Frank, was just a pup at the time and always had me laughing…and running around. He was playful, adorable, and highly rebellious. I opened my laptop, and my fingers went to town; my creative juices—as I call them— were in full force. Before I knew it, I found Frank concluding each story in the common phrase, “Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda.”

Frank always goes against others’ suggestions and thinks he knows just about everything. So naturally, Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda became the bread and butter of all 12 stories I wrote.

Writing, poetry, and storytelling are not just my hobbies; they are my passions. I am captivated by the way children see the world. It’s a beautiful thing. But with this comes lessons learned. This series is a testament to that, with each story teaching a valuable lesson in a fun and loving way. I am so excited to share these stories with you and your children!
