A writer of YA fiction and magical realism and other forms of fantasy, a hater of purple skittles, a student, a believer in odd characters, a reader, a ginger, a lover of red velvet cupcakes, a seeker of magic, a lover of words, a sunshine hater, advocate of adventure, promoter of weird journeys. My two favorite words are "what" and "if," and I especially like how they sound when put together.
