Author bio

I live in two vastly different places. I spend my time between Death valley, Ca and Monterey, Ca. I've been writing my entire life. It has been a source of comfort and growth for my life. I now am excited to test my writing skills to the public. I want to share my stories and hopefully be a source of light and reflection to others.
