I am and always will be an avid reader. So, I was reading a pretty popular book to see what the hype was all about. So I read it, and I powered through, despite some of the horrible writing. Once I finished the book, I thought, well - 'I can do better than that!' - and so, I gave it a whirl.
I used to write short stories as a kid, as well as poetry.
I gave up writing and focused on what was happening in the now. I don't think there wasn't a time that I wasn't writing, I just wasn't doing it to do it. I started my author career in 2015, with my firs book published in 2016.
