I have enjoyed reading since the time I learned how. The love for writing followed shortly after. Once when I was 8 or 9 my sister found a notebook I was using to write a story and asked "What book Did I you copy this from? It looks interesting." 

I smiled when I told her I had written it and her reply was funny. "Really?" She said. "It looks to good for you to have written it."

It took me a few hours to realize that was the best compliment she could have given. I had started several stories after that but "Standing Strong" is the first book I have actually finished (I do plan for it to be a trilogy). Hopefully you will feel the same as my sister and like it and anything else I finish and publish on here.
