Brief Author Bio:

I love being barefoot, finding sand in my pockets, making lists, the Realist and Naturalist movements in American Literature, buying hand-made notebooks, throwing a frisbee at my little sister, being immersed in water, keeping my nose stuck in a book, mailing cards, Priest Lake, rain on my head, singing in the car, and telling horrible pun-laden jokes.

If I ruled the world you would be able to have at least two “selves,” one of which could be reading at all times, thus providing me with ample time to read Moby-Dick once a week. Also, water would refill itself in your glass, The Soup would be a required daily staple, I would be able to do long-division in my head, and every person on the planet would be happy in their own skin. I someday plan to visit London, own a dog named Atticus Finch, and remember how to speak French.
