I grew up in Austin, TX and have always had a passion for writing. My dad told me several years ago that he asked me when I was 7 years old what I wanted to be when I grew up and I replied that I wanted to be a writer. Even at a young age, writing has been a passion for me. Over the years I have accumulated stacks of notebooks, and anything else I could write on, that contain my writings from as young as twelve years old. I have often been sidetracked by life, but I always come back to writing.
