I was born in New Jersey into a family of seven. Growing up, I spent most of my time following my older siblings around, and traveling between North Carolina and Florida.
My writing adventure began when I was eleven-years-old. Out of curiosity, I took my little teal notebook and went to sit in a quiet place in the house. "If I could write a story, what would it be about?" I wondered. From there came the core plot for my current series, Mendable.
With lots of other novels in the works as well, my favorite time to write is when my music is loud, I have a tall cup of tea, and the room is dark. Anyone else struggling with writing solely at night? Let's talk about it! ;)
My current favorite themes are obsession, dark secrets, messy character dynamics, and dreams. Ever since I was a kid, I have been amazed by dreams, which explains my love of the movie Inception. What's cooler than your brain telling you a story while you sleep, which when you awaken becomes a prophetic insight on your daily life? Not much!
