I'm going to be honest, I didn't go to college to write, but my teachers always told me I was good at it. I even had one professor ask me to sign one of my homework assignments because he thought it was so well written. Today, you may find me out exploring the rugged landscape that makes up my home and the worlds I create. Or I may be sitting in front of my fireplace enjoying a slice of hot fresh bread and homemade jam while reading the next book on my TO-BE-READ list. Connect with me on my social channels (IG, FB, TW, TT). I respond to every message and love hearing from my readers.
