"A writer is someone for whom writing is harder than it is for other people."-Thomas Mann

When I sat down to write my first novel one random afternoon in second grade, I didn't know how this decision would change the rest of my life. At the time it was simply a fun thing to do. Hmm, a novel, sounds awesome, I said to myself then. 
Of course, looking back now, my first attempt at writing fiction is nowhere near awesome, but ever since then I've kept on writing. Through the years, it has become more than just a hobby.
I do still like experimenting with all sorts of ideas and genres, though. I see writing as a way to express myself, and to interact with the world. To escape into another daydream, sometimes that too.
In the past, I've written a series on prep school "cliques", a few other books on growing up, and a paranormal romance trilogy.
Currently, I'm working on a young adult science-fiction series. The first book is titled Thaw. For more information, click here.

Now, let's move on to some more entertaining stuff.
Fun facts about me:
I can ride a unicycle.
I can speak three languages. Two and a half, maybe...
I get the best inspirations for my books when I'm running...or showering.
I can't cook.

 I can also be found on the Internet under the name ness428. And in case you're wondering, I live in New Jersey.
