Bio: I have been writing since I was 6. I have vivid memories of sitting on the couch in our tiny living room in Fremont, CA. and my mother reading me Charlotte's Web and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Even as a little girl, I wanted to write. I wrote my first story in the second grade, published my first book as a senior in high school, and received my first award as a sophomore in college. If there was a way to write, I would find it. I wrote in journals and on the back of science worksheets in biology. I typed on my parents ' computer- designing the cover of my stories with worn-down crayons and dried-up markers.
Writing often was my escape, my way of fleeing from being teased and bullied or scared of what real life brought me. It was my way of expressing pain and love without coming out and saying, "I am hurt," or "I am in love." It was a way to call out corruption and abuse in a way that honored the victims.
My writing has refined itself over the years, but there still is passion, imagination and sass sprinkled across my pages. While some choose to face the world with bleak surrender, I choose to believe that there is still magic in the imagination, and live in a place where anything is possible... if we just hope.
