She started writing in the fourth grade, but began writing "Follow" her sophomore year of high school. She considers herself a "writer" rather than an "author" because the word "author" implies that she only writes books. However, she says she tries her hand at every form of writing when she can. She lives in Costa Mesa, California and currently studies Criminal Justice at Southern New Hampshire University. She aspires to someday become a Criminal Prosecutor and part-time Screenwriter for Hollywood.view less
