An avid reader and aspiring writer ever since my grade 4 teacher introduced me to the magical world of literature. It began quite simply with many books a young girl of 8 would read, then escalated once I began to read Lynn Johnson's world famous "For Better of Worse" comic strip. Ever since I have devoured every book I've read and slowly I am beginning to put my own worlds on paper. But all in all, I'm just a young woman with a habit of slipping off into other worlds.
Influenced by:
-Pablo Neruda
-Clive Barker
-Helen Dunmore
- Tolkien
