I grew up a little bit of everywhere, but I now live in the very small town of Canton Pa. I've always made up stories to keep myself amused, when I was younger my brother, cousins, and friends would ask me to make up something to do so I would create a story for us. When I was 7, I went to the library to for a puppet play called 'Zhugh Liang Falls in Love' based on an ancient Chinese stratgists from the late Han dynasty and after that almost everything I thought up was based in ancient history. It really sparked my love of history. A few years later I was given a collection of Edgar Allen Poe's works and again I fell in love! He is my favorite writer of all time. I love his dark side yet in the end justice seems served, well almost ^_^. It really sparked the darker side of my own imagination and made me think about all the horrid things that could happen. I never stopped writing my stories but I never thought to publish one until this year and luckily my manuscript was accepted by Publish America. Truthfully it is much harder than working with horses, there always seems something that needs attention, almost like a baby that you don't dare take your eyes off of...LOL! I do love it and I am writing full time now and hopefully will have my second book, a part two for Shadow of Angels as well as another book I call How to Out run the Cops and Other stupid Ideas ready for publishing by the end of the year.
