Having narrowly escaped being born on Friday the 13th, I began writing at the tender age of six. A story about Mighty Mouse and a ghost gave way to a middle school tale about a dog show and a high school romance series. Co-editor of my high school literary journal, I completed NaNoWriMo after graduation. I participated in and was a part of the editing team of the Indie Ink Writing Challenge, founded by the late Stacy Campbell. I have recently returned to my love of writing, as well as the world of art.
