I have always had a love for words, especially when they came together to form stories. And so, from my elementary years, it has been my one lasting dream to build a life around shaping words into stories.

I grew up in Columbia, Kentucky, though currently live in Mississippi, where I spend my days rescuing princesses from dungeons, slaying dragons...and, of course, selling clothes to people at my retail job (which, believe it or not, can be tougher than getting the One Ring to Mount Doom).
