Brief Author Bio:

I decided to be a writer after a school newspaper project I did somewhere between 1st and 3rd grade. I originally wanted to be a journalist, but soon figured out that I enjoyed writing made-up things rather than real life facts. I started working on my first book when I was 9. It was titled 'The Adventures of Mary Meerkat". I later on dabbled with a story I called "Alexa". "Chronicles of Kiera," "White Rose Wanderers," and "Mindworld" were other projects I worked on, in addition to writing fan-fics for Redwall. Many of the characters -- both personalities and names -- and adventures from these early books carried over into my series involving the Sentinels of Mysera. NaNoWriMo helped add the 3rd and 4th books to the series, and this year it will add the 5th!
