Hello readers & friends! Welcome to my world. I'm Caitlin, a fiction writer of mostly middle grade novels, often fantasy and sometimes mystery. Ever since I was a little girl, I've dreamed about becoming a detective, a doctor, a wizard, a ballerina, a spy, & on & on & on. So naturally, I settled on children's writer and these days, try my best to get lost in story.
Come on in to learn more about my current works-in-progress, and to explore my books lists and recommendations!
Stop by Instagram where I often talk about books, share musings about my writing, give peeks into my classroom (I'm a high school English teacher too!), and post way too many pictures of my literary pets.
![“No your fight is not within
Yours is with your timing
Dream your dreams but don't pretend
Be friends with what you are
Give your heart then change your mind
You're allowed to do it
'Cause God knows it's been done to you
And somehow you got through it”
[The Age Of Worry || John Mayer]

Today, I’m 32.
I started my car to these lyrics that have often spoken to me, but no more so than this morning. •
I won’t lie & say today started off as one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had, but I know it will shape up to be okay.
•
These last couple of years have been the favorite of my life so far, despite the hardship they’ve brought among a season of waiting, loss, & grief. •
But I’m determined that my thirties won’t become an age of worry.
•
Thirty-one ended with unexpected loss in more ways than I imagined. But I’m clinging to God’s promise that there’s more to come.
•
Thirty-two will be a year for hope.
A year of leaning into my faith & trusting that God sees me & hears my dreams.
•
A year of becoming friends with who I am & the woman God is continuing to shape & test & grow despite the hard seasons.
•
He doesn’t promise a life of ease or of no worry, but He does promise that if we come to Him with our worries, He will give us rest & teach us rhythms of grace.
•
So here’s to thirty-two.
To new rhythms.
To new dreams.
To new promises.
