I write about my journey with Long Covid. I am currently enrolled in University studying creative writing.

“Walking with Magic” in the UK magazine “Liliths Diaries”.

My poem “Casting a Spell” is published in “Haute Girl Poetry”

I have three accounts that I create content for,
First, is my Booktok/ writer / author page where I review books, give opinions, and market my own book while also talking about chronic illness.

Second, Salem with Jax is an account where I make content all about Salem Massachusetts. I talk about travel tips, food, holidays, especially Halloween, and what it’s like to live there.

Third, Travel with Jax is all things travel and Disney. I give travel tips in the perspective of something with Long Covid. I also like to dabble in unboxing.

For hobbies I love to read anything, especially Romantasy! I am a part of a tiny book club in my city where we read and also dabble in a little magic ✨
I love tea parties, movies, nature and spending time with my husband and two cats.

Description-

Two weeks fresh out of the hospital from a heart scare, dealing with long COVID, pots, a flare-up from my autoimmune disease, and three infected ulcers, while having to move out on my own, is where my memoir starts.

Month by month, I wrote down in real time what it was like to transition from being a normal, active member of society to someone who couldn't leave their house without assistance. All because I got a virus.

Quickly realizing how society, friends, and family started treating me differently, I decided to journal my everyday experiences in my new body, in hopes of giving people a new perspective.

With honest words, light-hearted illustrations, humor, and grit, these journals unearth the secrets of living with chronic illness and how it changes everything

Casting a Spell

My poem, Casting a Spell, has been published in Haute Girl Poetry. This poem is special to me. It's short and sweet, but it alludes to the fact that we all have power inside of us, and we just need to find the right outlet it let it out.
