A little about me

Antoinette is a writer with a passion for enriching the lives of young people. Although life has taken her on many paths, none have taken her away from her love of the written word.

Antoinette grew up reading by flashlight long after bedtime and began writing the stories she wanted to read as a curious 6th grader. Her love of books and the way words can connect people has always remained strong. Her upcoming book, The Independents, celebrates middle grade readers everywhere who face life’s daily challenges, find strength and comfort with one another, and learn that they are not alone.

Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.
