I grew up in the town of Girardville, Pa.. I was anything but, prefect growing up. I started out as a really cocky smarta** but, grew to be respectful to others. I've cried many more times than I would like to remember but, with those tears came memories of better days. I have had many different personalities throughout my life and along with them different looks. Friends came and gone but, there are still a few floating around that have been here since one could remember. I've been in love more than once and each time it was an experience all of it's own. My friends and family are major influences in my writing. The loved ones that helped me to experience the feelings that I was able to put into writing. I have grown over the years and this book is from parts of my  life that played a role in making me who I am today. Strong emotions are what motivate me to put it all down on paper to share with the rest of the world.
