I like to think that every book I've ever read has changed me in some way. I become so consumed by the stories, the characters, the raw emotions that once I'm finished I then carry every burden of each of those reality's. Every word, every touch, every scream, every thought leaves a scar. Every time I read a book I feel more alive. 
I feel curious. 
I feel inspired...

Which eventually led me to write my own. 

I hope maybe one day I have the balls to actually tell you who I really am, but for now I'm just glad I was brave enough to press publish.
