Brief Author Bio:

When I was 9 we had an assignment to list three jobs we wanted to do when we grew up. I already knew when I was 9 that I wanted to be a writer, so I only put down "author." I got in trouble and a note was sent home saying I was uncooperative and that my parents should give me a talking to. My parents told me to not listen to what the teachers said and keep writing. So I did.

I'm in my final year of classes towards my majors in Japanese and Comparative Literature. I write too many papers and not enough stories.
