About Me
I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. I started to really enjoy reading when my uncle gave me a copy of a book with a character about my age who also had my same first name. That book was THE GUNSLINGER by Stephen King. I read it in one sitting and I've been nose-first in a book ever since. I love writing and I hope to one day be published and see what others think of the crazy conversations that go on in my head each day, but for now I'll keep toiling away in the evenings and summers and teaching the future of America during the day.
