I am an avid reader and story-teller.  As a person who grew up in the countryside, I am a lover of all things nature. I've dabbled in poetry and short stories, but my preference is novel-writing. My current work in progress is an epic fantasy, part of a chronicle series that I'm co-authoring. 

Favorite books:
Fire by Kristin Cashore (as well as Graceling and Bitterblue)
Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare
