"I have been writing since about age 13, it has always been a personal pleasure of mine. Trying to get my first book published has been a big step for me. I have always enjoyed writing, whether it is a poem, a song, or a short story. I am eager to share my work and I hope that people enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it."
