Before I could write proper sentences, I wrote stories. I wrote one after the other, never stopping and would read them to anyone who would listen. My passion for writing came young and never left. For years before I reached double digits people would ask "What do you want to be when you grow up?" and without hesitation, I would reply simply, "an author." Their surprised faces always amused me and still do to this day when I am asked that very same question. But, no matter how great my love for writing is, just writing is never enough; everything that I write, any topic, any length, has purpose and meaning. In some works, it's obvious and in others, hidden, but no matter what, my ultimate goal is to make a person feel something so that when they read the final word, they walk away with some sort of a message or emotion, no matter how subtle. Reading takes us places, shows us the world through new eyes, and as a writer, it is my mission to open those doors for you, ignite your imagination and let you decide what you see.
