About the author

I first thought of myself as a writer at nine years old, but I didn’t get around to the heart of the matter until much later. In the meantime, I honed my storytelling skills through documentary filmmaking, video editing, scriptwriting, and assorted other diversions.

Today, I've written five novels for teens and young adults and have a thriving career as a freelance writer, ghostwriting for authors around the world. I've never been happier!
