Hi, there! I love (clean) romance! I hope you do too! Ever since I was a child I've had stories in my head. To this day, it's these stories that relax me before I go to sleep.

In the third grade I won my school's "Reflections" contest for the best fiction story! But I never thought I would write for a living until my second child was a baby and I needed to do something quiet during naptime.

First, allow me to apologize for not answering your question sooner! Somehow, I did not see it until this very day. Well, the main reason I want to be a writer is because I cannot keep stories from coming into my head, and I must get them out! A secondary reason is, it is a flexible job for a mother. I have a New Ault (for ages 20-30) book coming out in a couple of months: Blemished Beauty.

Thanks for your question.

Happy Reading!

The Bad Note

Chapter 3: The Bad Note

I felt worse than ever in the morning, so I decided I would sing louder than ever on the city bus. I sang my heart out. I went from seat to seat, asking everyone if I could sing them a song. Most people said yes, and almost everyone knew my name after that. It felt good to be heard, good to be known.

When I got to school, I ran around the schoolyard as fast as I coul
