\"I\u2019ve always loved books, reading as many as I could find or buy in high school mostly in the fantasy and sci fi genre. Of course I had my own stories rattling about in my head\" she says. \"I\u2019d occasionally write bits down, but once I discovered e-publishing my daydreaming pastime blossomed. Now I\u2019m a writer, spending hours honing my skills, learning techniques, and developing those story ideas into novels I can share. I\u2019ve come to really love the nuances of writing for an audience: layering plots, leaving hints of what is coming, and really developing a world, character, or storyline to something that feels real. I think the best part is that a brief daydream that used to fascinate me for a day can become a story I spend years with, uncovering details I would never have imagined if I didn\u2019t start to write them down.\"<\/span><\/p>\r\n
