I am a lover of literature, a painter of words, and a storyteller at heart. My works are loved by many, and I can't keep a good story to myself.
Background
Information
I am an author from a small town in Virginia who entered the field with big dreams and bigger ideas. I've loved reading since I was old enough to hold a book, and I've written for nearly as long. My influences are very diverse really. Largely I name Stephen King as one of the top influences in my life, as well as Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley and Charles Dickens, just to name a few. I write stories that really make me feel something, and everyone I've spoken to says they feel the same thing when they read them. That is important to me. If I can't paint a good picture and get the emotion into the work, then I won't share with anyone until I can. I've recently returned to Wattpad in order to provide new stories at no cost and experiment with new ideas. I've got multiple novels published, and you can find them all on my website.
