I am a New England native, born and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts, whose love of writing sparked during my adolescence which was mostly spent indoors.  As a latch-key kid raised in a single-parent home, journaling became a means of escape when I couldn't go outdoors. This eventually morphed into crafting short-stories that were shared with friends, poetry pieces and playwriting.

I never imagined how limited access to time outdoors during that period of my life would open a window to an active imagination and colorful style of storytelling.
