Hi all, I'm an art teacher from Northern New York, near the northern edge of the Adirondack Mountains. I am not a trained writer, but love to read. This story has been percolating in my mind for the last  two years, and so I decided I just need to write it down. I look forward to hearing positive feedback, and continuing Layla's story. Thank you for sharing your talents and helping people like me to grow as a writer.
