My journey into writing goes way back--back before I graduated high school in a small town in northwestern Oregon in 2004. I don't remember exactly when my passion for creating began, but as it blossomed somewhere around middle-school, it started in the form of writing. Words were something I had a way with, and so they became my tool for creating the worlds I dreamt of in my mind.

Over the years, I started several story projects. I also wrote dozens of other ideas and short stories, but I never really did anything with them–at least, not until now.

Fast forward to 2023. With some help from a couple friends, I began to write. One word at a time, one paragraph at a time, until slowly the words became pages and the pages became chapters and finally, in March of 2024, it became the first draft of 'When Blood Burns' – the first book in the series I'm calling 'Cycle of Awakening'.

​I don't know where things will go from here, but I have faith because I know that I'm doing what I was meant to do, and even if most of the world never sees what I create, I will be happy knowing I am finally following the passion inside me.

All that said, I sure hope I will find some beautiful people to join me on this journey!
