About Me
I began writing in high school. At first it was badly written teen dramas. It wasn't a great start, but it was a start. Eventually, I tried my hand at fantasy, but didn't master it. I wrote poetry and short stories as I tried to figure out what else I could try. I ventured deep into the experience of writing YA fantasy and enjoyed it for a time. Now that I'm a "seasoned adult", my interest have shifted to regency era romances and I have officially begun to try my hand at the new genre.
Type of Writer
I have dabbled in a several areas but often return to free verse poetry & novels(varying genres but always a dash of romance)
Interests
I enjoy reading as much as writing and take my family to the library regularly (indoctrinate them early!). I love cooking for my family and take pride putting a tasty home-cooked meal on my table. I also dabble in drawing.
