I'm a single mother of one teenage daughter, and several furbabies. I have been writing and wanted to write for a living for as long as I can remember, and one day, not too long ago, I decided that I needed to give writing my all, and make it my full time job.
When I was in my teens, my noble and well loved grandfather told me that I probably wouldn't make very much money from being a writer, and that perhaps it wasn't the best option. I listened, and took it all too much to heart, because I pretty much stopped writing then and there.
Fortunately, E.L. James wrote some Twilight fan fiction which later became that world wide phenomenon known as 50 Shades of Grey. I hadn't been an avid reader in some time, and when I read FSOG my imagination was sparked again, and I started buying up books at an exponential rate.
A few months passed, and my college friend turned to me and went "You've read so many of those book, I bet you could write your own." (Thank you so much James Pyper xox) Turns out he was right! I did write my own and I have started down this amazing path into the world of independent author, and self-publishing.
Lately, the world of indie's seems a little bit forlorn and scary, so I have decided to get my works up here instead :)
