Hello there!

I am the publisher of 48fourteen. Yes, you read that correctly. I launched 48fourteen in 2011 and since then it’s grown into something amazing. In addition to my wanting to feed my book addiction, the publishing company was created to give amazingly talented authors an opportunity to have their incredible stories published and available for all to read.

And now, I’m bringing you our team along with the experience and knowledge of a publisher. Break Through Author (“BTA”) is exclusively for you, the self-published author. Why keep what we know and can do bottled up? Sharing is caring!

Me? Well, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Texas Tech University; English was one of my majors. I’ll admit, I’m obsessed with books, and being involved in the process of taking a manuscript and turning it into a novel thrills me. Everything I do and create is infused with passion and I always aim for the best.

Thank you for stopping by. We look forward to working with you!
