Brief Author Bio:

I am a 25 year old lesbian in KCMO. I enjoy musicals and reality tv. They are the things I most obsess about. I have three cats and a puppy and I have the drive to get this year finished and completed with an editable novel by the end of November. ... I hope. Here's to starting another crazy writing experience!
