I've been an avid reader since I was a child and was inspired to write by a college professor who thought something I had written was worthy of being published. 

When the friends I'd shared the first two chapters with begged me to write more, I finally decided it was time to write a novel. One novel quickly turned into three.  

I write pretty regularly in an online forum where we share what we have written. I found that I prefer writing for an audience. Wattpad has become my audience.
