Someone once asked how I became an author. This was my answer.
“I embrace my inner unicorn spirit animal. I dream in sunset skies. I dabble with unfamiliar magic. I travel to unknown stars. I’m made of imagination, with a dash of Skittles. That’s how I became an author.”
“Hey everyone! Welcome to my website. Here you can get to know me a little and chat. We will be instant friends, I just know it.
“So, yep, I’m an author, and I think it’s the best job in the world. I’m a very big advocate for imagination. Imagination will always keep you young. It’s the fountain of youth! How awesome is that?
“I won’t deny, I’m a complete GEEK and LOVE geeking out, if that is a verb (said the author). This is something that is in my blood. If you love anything fandom-wise, we are instant friends. But, things like clever writing that is smart and tricks me, you have me forever.
“I fell in love with fantasy, because it’s creativity without limits. I get to be with elves and dragons and fairies everyday. There’s anticipated adventure and a time to be heroic. I hope to inspire others to share their passion. Writing is my therapy. I love sharing it with you.”
