When I was sixteen years old I read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. From that moment on, I wanted to be a writer of literary fiction. That is mostly the type of fiction that I read because it is the type I want to write. Any well written book can be categorized as literary fiction, no matter the genre. Leah's Garden is actually my third novel, but it is my first public work. I am currently working on my new novel titled Three O'clock Moon. I enjoy painting, camping and hiking and amateur astronomy. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my longtime partner and two wonderfully funny rescue dogs named Stella and Blanche Dubois. Thanks for reading!
