Author Biography
I am a thirty-seven-year-old creative accountant and writer. My passion for creating stories started early. As a teenager and well into my twenties I babysat for more than seven different families with children ranging in age from 2 to 10. My method of putting the children to bed was always the same- I would make up stories for bedtime. Having two children has helped me see the world through the eyes of a child and how even the most mundane things can be amazing. Children ask questions which wouldn't even occur to an adult to ask. As we get older we loose our magic and having children and telling them wonderful, exciting stories helps us get part of the magic back. I want to help people rediscover the magic and excitement by creating interesting characters.
