I grew up reading. Sometimes I would pretend being sick so I could finish a book, or start a book, or build models. The last one doesn't really have anything to do with reading, but since we were on the subject of hooky I thought it was worth mentioning. 

Apparently the love or reading wore off on me, and now I like writing. I swing between adventure stories, less serious young adult type stories, and a combination of the two. Hopefully one day I'll even be good at it.
