Author bio

Hello! I love to write. I’ve been a stage performer for most of my life, never going more than a few months without being involved in a show. I went to school for it, trained for years, and got a few professional gigs. Eventually, I become disillusioned with the life style (being a starving artist ain’t all it’s cracked up to be), and people working on my own mental health and working “normal” jobs. Since my life wasn’t completely dedicated to acting anymore, I had a lot of free time on my hands. That’s when I started studying stories: what was good what was bad. Why something worked and why it didn’t. It’s all so fascinating to me. I began writing then about 5 years ago, but I’ve only gotten really serious about writing in the last year. All I want to do is write stories people enjoy reading, so I hope you like them!
