Ever since I was little, I've loved to write stories. I drew pictures of various characters and imagined complex little worlds for them to inhabit. As I grew older, I began to wonder what it would be like to write longer stories, maybe even publish a novel.


So my journey into author-hood began. I started taking literature and writing classes through college, testing my skills as a writer. I eventually gained the courage to start submitting stories to contests. Just this year, I won first place with a short story called "Cyborg." This win gave me the courage to fully pursue my lifelong goal of publishing a novel. I recently put "Reins of Hope" through a wonderful editor, who helped me iron out any kinks that my young writer self might have made. Current goal for this novel is to have it published by Christmas!
