About

When I was just an ankle biter, I had dreams of running away and joining the circus. I'd regale the crowds with stories of my adventures, hang out with lions, and eat hot dogs and popcorn all day.
While I'm not quite rocking the super cool get-up and living off of deep fried treats, I still go on adventures, just from the safety of my desk.

Story Behind The Book

After a friend of mine confided that she was being bullied because of her sexuality, I knew I wanted to do a YA novel with the protagonist battling with feelings of being an outsider/bullied. And since scifi/fantasy is my favorite genre, when I went to the drawing board, I wanted to put a different spin on the coming of age story.
