: About Me

I'm a 27 year old native of North Carolina. Born and raised in a culture of good food, frizzy hair, slow talking, and neighborly people. We southerners definitely meet our crazy quota, but no more so than the rest of the world. I love to write, and I love to read. The two have always been my outlets.

Those of us who have a love of the written word, and a joy for producing it, have a responsibility to give the rest of the world something to read. I'm excited about having discovered a new avenue to do that.
