I am a southern girl who grew up in imagination heaven. My mother and father molded me and encouraged me to create, read and write. Because of them, I love fantasy (NERD ALERT: JK Rowling, Tolkein), fiction (Ted Dekker, Roald Dahl), poetry (Maya Angelou, Edna St. Vincent Millay). These authors are what I aspire to, but my passion is writing for my friends. Every Christmas I usually write them a story of their own in which they are the main character, and they love it. I am an amateur at best, but I have the creative tenacity it takes to get you into my world and show you something new.
