Biography
Since elementary school, I
remember being in love with words. Spelling them, writing them, reading
them...I even hung them up around my house. I think I owe my love
of language to my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Templeton. I can
recall sitting around in a circle in that old, red-brick school,
listening to her read aloud Greek mythology. The oxymoron there was
that she was the most prim and proper teacher I ever knew, right down
to the white buttoned up blouse held together at the collar with a cameo
pin. The way she read made words come alive.
I had written a few things here and
there throughout my life. I used to think I'd be good at children's
books, and it wasn't a far stretch since I worked with children every day and
knew what they liked. But then I read the series by Stephenie Meyer,
maybe you've heard of it...Twilight. This was the type of story I knew I
had to write. Teenagers were my audience. It helped I had one at
home to learn from.
My idea didn't come in a dream.
No, I wasn't that fortunate. It happened through research. And lots
of it. The only criteria I had was that I wanted my story to be different
from everything else out there. I wanted my story to stand out. No
vampires or werewolves. No witches or wizards. Unicorns were my
choice. And I think the story that unfolded is definitely unique.
Writing this story has been fulfilling. Getting this
story published is a dream come true. Inkspell Publishing has accepted my
manuscript and my book will be released this summer. Somebody pinch me!
