I've wanted to write a book since I was eleven years old. I used to write short stories on pad after pad of paper. My life went in a different direction. I found ballet and pursued that for many years, in various forms. A few years ago, I became disabled and was unable to teach dance. I used that time to reignite my old passion for writing and started The Order. It gave me a creative outlet again and structure. Writing the book saved me. Doctors figured out what was wrong with me so I am healthy and hale again, but now all I can think about is writing. I've been writing for about two years now.
