About me
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
Dragon enthusiast. Avid collector of pretty things. History buff. Ocean Lover. Mom. Gamer. Teacher. Tiny Dinosaur Rancher. Dog Rescuer.
I began my love affair with the written word like many other writers do: through reading. Throughout my childhood, I took many fabulous adventures through the pages of books that took me to varied and distant places. Now, I hope to return the favor by adding to the collection of stories available for future adventurers to find and explore.
