About Me!

While I've lived most of my life in the wonderful southern state of Georgia, my earliest years were spent in West Palm Beach, Florida.  I was born on December 3, 1989 and was only a toddler when my family relocated to Valdosta, Georgia where I lived until I was seven years old.  I currently reside in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia where I recently graduated Salutatorian (second highest GPA) of my senior class.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved to read but for years I had my heart set on becoming a doctor.  It was only recently that my longtime appreciation for reading expanded to a love for writing and creating fictional stories of my own.  While I was fascinated with the field of medicine (gynecology, to be exact) I never felt about it the way I do about writing. Following my passion, I made a future career change and decided that as I obtain a higher education, I will focus on subjects that will sharpen my skills as a writer.

My first book is entitled, Living Consequences. When I wrote it, I never imagined that it would be accepted by a traditional publisher. I just assumed that I'd have to self-publish it like most new writers do.  As a matter of fact, it was my mom who marketed my manuscript to publishers.  I didn't even know that she was doing it until she got up at a literary event in April of 2006 and announced to the full house of guests that I'd been offered a 2-book deal!  I was shocked, overwhelmed and happy all at the same time and I hope the book will be a blessing to everybody who reads it.

In addition to reading and writing novels, I have also authored several poems addressing the subjects of Christianity, peer pressure and social issues.  Recently, one of my poems got me nominated as 2006 Poet of the Year by the International Society of Poets. 

Beginning in the fall of 2008, I will be a full-time college student, attending the University of Georgia (go Bulldogs!) where I will major in Mass Communications with a focus on Journalism.
