Out of all the people I saw myself becoming when I got older, a writer wasn't one of them. I loved fashion, I enjoyed art, I thought about owning and running a business-a bakery since I enjoy baking, and above all I loved singing and dancing. Why I started writing is still a mystery to me but now I couldn't stop even if the world ran out of paper and electronics were no longer available to us.

I live in Western New York with two cockatiels and a small pride of barn cats. Aside from plotting my next travel adventure I spend my time writing and daydreaming/hiking in the forest behind the house.
