Author bio

Hi there. Thank you greatly for taking the time to read this bio. I'm fairly new to making my stories public. My hope and dream is that one day I'll make an actual novel. That's why I trust that making short stories on Reedsy will help get me to that level of writing. If you've read this far, I want to sincerely thank you. Please feel free to read my stories. If you want or if you need someone to read one of your stories. I'll help where I can. Comments, suggestions, advice or just a simple joke. I'll gladly take and listen to whatever you want to say. Thank you for reading this bio.
