Once I get the story on paper, the characters finally leave me alone. I can focus
on family, friends, other activities. But it's not long before something I read,
watch or live pops up another idea that demands my attention. And it’s the
funniest thing. I kinda like it!

Reading has always been a big part of my life and I started writing my first book
in the seventh grade. But my dream of being an author emerged slowly. The
idea lingered in the back of my mind as I gathered information, taking in the
scenery and quietly listened to everyone and everything around me. I soon
started rewriting the endings of books and movies, even picked apart the plot
and characters. This is when I decided to give writing a try. Now it is my
passion.
