Author bio

Hello! I’m always bad at talking about myself but I’ll do my best. I’ve had an interest in writing since I was a little kid, I would write all sorts of cringy stories and force my friends to read them. I applaud them for putting up with me. I’m trying to get more serious and improve my writing and maybe someday publish something worthy! Besides a writer I am also a dancer and grew up in a family of dancers, which I tend to include in my stories from time to time. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read, hopefully you enjoyed at least one of my stories!
