I write, read, rock out on my yoga mat, report for Publishers Weekly, and write YA. I play well with words and others, and when I’m not reporting, I daydream excessively before putting words on the page. Sometimes they’re jibberish, sometimes they’re honest in a way that makes me feel a little awkweird, but they always come with a message of hope and love.

More often than not, I’ve got my nose in a book (occasionally while inside my book fort), because inside story is where the magic waits.

But you don’t have to take my word for it.
