Our Panelists

She was born and raised in Texas but has lived all over the country. The Cloud Artist, which is in English and Choctaw, celebrates her Choctaw heritage from her mother’s side of the family. She now has five books in print and is waiting to hear if two more book projects will begin in the near future. At this time, she represents herself but hopes someday she can get an agent to take her to the next level. Dream big has always been one of her mottos.
