I've been reading and writing my whole life! I was a huge bookworm as a kid. My mom would take me to the library on my summer vacations, and I'd check out a whole stack full of books. I'd have them all read in two weeks. Then we'd go back again. I was such a nerd really, still am! I began writing stories before the age of ten. I completed my first 60k novel at nineteen and have been trucking along on others ever since. I love the creative process that goes into making great fiction. I read and write to be entertained. I enjoy being transported to places that only great stories can take you. Writing is not my main profession as much as a huge passion of mine, though I hope to be able to work at it on a more serious level in the future. I actually ranch for a living. My life consists of horses, land and cattle, so that profession is very rewarding too!
