Location Dayton, Ohio, United States
Introduction I am a writer and a college student. I enjoy writing novels and spec scripts, most of the time. Throughout my memories I've always been a storyteller. My dearest friends tell me my life is like movie, and they mean I live an unbelievable life. Until this idea kept being put forward, I never thought my life so different from anyone else. All I know is, I survive. I'm lucky. Wonderful things happen to me, and tragedies regularly knock on my door. Through all of this, I carry the stories. If that wasn't enough, I write novels because it delights me.

When you open your eyes underwater, do you ever worry that you'll drown?

No. I always imagine I'm in a different world.
