how it all began
There was a series I was utterly and completely obsessed with in high school. I would lay in bed for hours soaking in every word until there was nothing left but the Acknowledgements page. After which I would stare at the book through the partial vision only heavy tears can be attributed for, wondering to myself how a fictional world, with fictional characters who never existed and never actually went through what I just read, could cause me to feel so much. I was in awe at the ability words had to draw such deep emotion out of me. This could change a person's entire life, I thought. There is nothing like the power of words intentionally crafted in a story to aid a person in whatever might be troubling them. And so from then on my decision was made: I would be an author.
