I am one of seven. That's right...seven. And yet, of all my six siblings I am the only one that has an interest in the power of the written word. I have been writing since the age of 9. in 1999, at the age of 15, I wrote my first "book". in the summer of  2009, I started the daunting task of writing a novel. three years latter and  the word count stands at 53,000 words. (publication within grasp) I strive to channel my raw creativity and emotion into poetry and books. To have the satisfaction of knowing that I have impacted or influenced a life though my works is what I yearn for. I hope to help you (the reader).
