I spent 24 years of my life growing up in St Louis, MO. As a child I had always found solace in creative arts. Whether it was music, drawing or writing, I was doing something creative. In grade school, I would always be caught with a book in my hand and never wanted to put one down. My inspiration for writing drew from reading coming of age novels as a child and as a pre-teen. My teachers had always commended me for reading books with such great expression and bringing characters to life when ever it was my turn to read out loud in class. When I was presented with the opportunity to write short stories for class projects I took the chance and just let my imagination do the running.

As a teenager and a young adult I had moved on to writing songs and poems and had taken a break from writing stories. My short poem "I Hate My Life" a humorous story of the average teen's everyday troubles, had received recognition from a local poem contest. After focusing on other endeavors, I re-visited my niche as a story writer. Everyday life had suddenly become a world of hidden stories for me. On one of my usual walks I had past by a construction worker who had been working on a new house for days. I would imagine that this worker was working against his will and no one realized it. From there I began to take that imagination to paper and written the novel The Glass House.

I now live in Las vegas, NV and continues writing my stories of suspense, drama, and mystery. When I'm not writing I spend my time entertaining friends and family, watching my favorite reality tv shows and exploring the world for literary inspiration.
