Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I love reading, writing, hanging out with my birds, and crocheting.

When and why did you start writing books?

I started to write books when I was 14 because I felt like I was being silenced when all my ballet teachers picked on me for having scoliosis, something I couldn't control. I wanted my voice to be heard.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

Honestly, the wide spectrum of emotions associated with every stage in writing made me decide that it is for me.

Birds Versus Chicks

Birds Versus Chicks

Tina, a sensitive and intelligent chick, must navigate through a world without her real parents. Through heartbreak, sorrow, grieving, ups and downs, she, along with her older sister Chicky, may or may not manage to unite their new family. In it, Maggie, seeming like the leader yet the youngest bird, causes Evelyn, a follower, to follow her footsteps, along with her oldest sister and mom. If the family doesn't form, Tina will be stuck in a cruel world forever. However, what the new family that Tina and Chicky unexpectedly got into was the upsetting backstory of them. Will the crack between them ever superglue together? 'Birds Versus Chicks' was a creative and sweet story, with a thematic plot, concise writing style, inventive characters, comedic flare and resonance that make for a very enjoyable read.
