Writing has always been something I enjoyed (still do) and found to be incredibly useful in expressing myself. I used my love for writing to help get me through each and every day. I don’t believe I could have survived my teenage years had I not been able to transport myself into a world I had created to provide (even for a brief moment) a period of solace and peace of mind.

I had written countless short stories (very short stories) inspired by everyday life during my high school years and the thought of writing a novel was a dream I wasn’t quite ready for.
