I'm a young woman living in the Northeastern part of the United States.

I have been writing for most of my life, in both poetry and in short fiction. I generally write adventure and personal relationship stories, and enjoy delving into characters' psychology and interractions. I also hope to get a degree in psychology at some point and hopefully get a career in criminal investigation.
