Background
Information
|
|
I've lived in and went to school in Frederick, Ok. for the whole of my life until my brother became terminally ill & then was homeschooled for two years. My inspiration? Honestly, my brother who passed about fifteen years ago. My brother David was a fighter and fought leukemia for about two years. He was a rock and has been a great inspiration to me in just about everything I do! I also was influenced greatly by a very outgoing teacher in highschool who encouraged me to write & be serious about it! Her name was Mrs. Cobb & I really appreciate her kind words. Another major influence would be a fairly new author; Stephenie Meyer. She raised the bar on the fiction world and I am striving to be that good! It would take a miracle to surpass what she has done but I'm working on it!
