I was born and raised in the northwest suburbs of the great Windy City: Chicago. I’ve been writing since high school in desperate hope to fend off a nasty case of insomnia that started from having strangely vivid dreams. Luckily, the writing trick worked to break insomnia, and a decade later I’m still happily addicted to writing. My favorite things in life are a freshly steaming cup of coffee, chocolate, music, spending quality time with friends and family, Sunday mornings, and being able to sleep in late. My least favorite chore is laundry and my favorite feeling is having a productive writing day. I now live in South Carolina where I moved to be closer to family.
