I wrote my first story at 14 years old and my 8th grade English teach said if I kept writing I could become a published author. I wrote a second story from a dream back in 2004, and lost it. But it was still in my mind. I rewrote in back in November 2020. It is in draft form on my laptop. I had just completed the first two "A City in the Sand" books. So I started really writing last year.
