Mrs. Freels Writes!

Welcome!

I started writing because I needed an outlet for my worries about going back to school after a year and a half of remote teaching. My first book was born from this anxiety, and I realized I loved writing! And I was sort of good at it… Five books later, I am still energized by new ideas and stories percolating in my mind.
