My love of writing began with my love of books. When I was a wee girl, I would much rather spend time alone with my nose in a book than with other kids. To this day, I would rather be reading a book or writing a story than doing just about anything else.

My passion is ...

writing.

I know too much about ...

My first job ...

Photo Lab Girl!

My best moment ...

Getting published.

My inspiration ...

My two best friends.
