I have been an avid reader since before I could read,
forcing my mother to read to me constantly. I began my love of fantasy with Grimm's Fairy Tales and Greek Mythology,
but it quickly evolved into a love of many different genres: fantasy, science
fiction, historical fiction (ancient times through the Renaissance),
spy/military, action/adventure, and mystery. But fantasy always remained at the
top of my list. I have a weakness for well-developed, interesting fantasy or
science fiction worlds, and my desire to create my own prompted me to begin
writing down some of the many ideas I had.
Being the oldest child, I was the "leader" of my
siblings, and my love of magical worlds and complex stories showed up early, as
my younger sister and I would spend hours building castles and setting up
cities to play what many would call an amateur role-playing game. My first
attempt at a novel fell completely apart. That process taught me that I am very
much a plotter, and, two years later, I have a completed draft. I love my
story, and I love my world, so my hope is to turn this into a series (even if
it never gets published).
Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy the blog!
