I'm an Abra because I'm vividly unique, and my books reflect that. I can't consider myself an author because to me, writing is something I do for myself, and a way to express who I am. I share these stories because I hope to find others just like me - bold, unique, stubburn, and creative...I live in Washington State with my two Cheshire cats and wonderful husband. I love to do anything and everything that inspires me. I began writing in 2008, two years after graduating from Washington State University with a degree in Fine Arts.What Inspires me? My own life. As a child and teenager, I loved to observe. I soaked in High School like a social sponge, floating from social group to social group, learning the life of each. What we don't often remember when we 'grow up' is the intensity of emotion we once felt back then. I never want to forget what that was like - first love, feeling that everything is so big, so amazing, and of course the pain of losing a friend...I hold onto those feelings because they defined me, just as they define you. My books are my way of traveling back in time, and there's nothing I cherish more.
