About Me

Rooted in story. Grounded in healing.

Why I Create

My Roots

This is your invitation to pause.
To breathe.
To remember that your story matters.

Whether you’ve come here for a gripping read, a space to reflect, or a spark of inspiration, you’re in the right place. My books will take you on journeys of resilience, courage, and connection. My journals and mindfulness tools will guide you back to yourself, one page and one moment at a time.

This is your space to imagine, to heal, to grow. The page is waiting. Your next chapter starts here

I'm PD Norris- author, journal creator, and the voice behind the brand The PDN Studio.

I write stories that explore the moments that break us ... and the choices that help us rise again. My work often draws from real life, including Unraveled, written in honor of my sister, and Sparks Ignited, co-written with my son. What started as a way to process my own grief, became something more. A journey into healing, growth, and soulful expression through fiction, journaling, and mindful reflection.

Beyond the page, I’m a Certified Master Mindfulness Life Coach, Certified Master Life Coach, and Certified Self-Care Life Coach with a bachelor’s in social science and a master’s in mental health and wellness.

This is Your Invitation

I believe in storytelling with soul. Whether it's through a suspenseful chapter, a quiet journal prompt, or a line that makes you pause mid scroll, my goal is to always the same. To remind you that you are not alone. That your voice matters. That healing isn't always linear, but it's always possible.

At The PDN Studio, you'll find:

• Fiction that honors emotion and truth (like the Crest Ridge Trilogy)

• Companion journals to help you reflect on your own journey. They are available in both physical and digital form to meet you wherever you are.

• Creative tools and prompts to help you reconnect with yourself.

Montgomery, Alabama will always be home. It’s where I learned the power of storytelling, the meaning of community, and the quiet strength found in everyday moments. My experiences have taught me authenticity and resilience. Those values live in every book I write and every mindful tool I create.

For me, mindfulness isn’t just a practice; it’s a way of living with intention, presence, and compassion. It’s about noticing the small moments, giving yourself space to breathe, and creating room for your own story to unfold.

In my daily life, mindfulness shows up in many forms: the quiet reflection of a journal page, the encouragement of an affirmation card, and the daily choices that bring more peace and clarity into life.

At The PDN Studio, I created tools that make mindfulness simple and meaningful helping others reconnect with themselves in ways that feel natural and empowering. Whether you pick up one of my books, journals, or cards, my hope is that it gives you space to slow down, reflect, and find your own rhythm again.

This is not about becoming someone new. It's about gently coming back to who you've always been.
