Hello, my friend, and welcome to my little corner of the world! I’m glad you dropped by.

I’m Phoebe: Christian, cat mum, scribbler, daydreamer, old soul, and Southern girl. (Well . . . Southern girl in all except location. I’ve lived in the West all my life, but the South has my heart. 💜)

Some people ask me why I started writing, but there’s not really a simple answer. I’ve been coming up with stories all my life – initially because I had insomnia (still do, by the way) and it gave my brain something to do at night. I’m also a reader; not as insatiable of one as I used to be, but I’d like that to change. 😉 I think, though, that the best answer is that God gave me both the skill and the desire to write – stories, mind, not essays. Otherwise I doubt I would have ever pursued it as a hobby/career. (Just ask my mom; I hated writing assignments in school, lol.)

Of course it hasn’t been easy. It doesn’t bring in much money, and it can be depressing facing writer’s block, imposter syndrome, and edit-induced desperation. SO many times I’ve felt like throwing in the towel and walking away. But one way or other, I keep coming back, because this is my mission.

Stories have POWER. The characters we choose to spend our time with will influence us, whether we realize it or not. Often we subconsciously relate to a story we heard in our past, or ask ourselves how a certain character might respond in this situation. (Ahem, I am guilty of this. 🙋‍♀️) Stories can shake our world, give us insight, and give us brilliant hope for what God can do with our broken, messy lives.

And that is why I write. Not just to entertain, but to inspire and encourage my readers. Won’t you join me?
