I am  an English teacher of 22 years, working in Harrisburg, Pa at SciTech High School. I Have always wanted to be a writer since the age of 11, and decided to pursue my dreams of becoming a novelist. I've made other attempts at writing a book, but nothing has come to fruition. This time will be different, however. My inspiration comes from my students, predominately inner city youth, who  don't see representations of themselves in the literature they read. This book is dedicated to them and all who want to be part of something extraordinary..
