I’m a Christian author from Kentucky (they do exist). I started my “career” in writing in 8th grade when I started jotting down the most stupidest mysteries ever conceived. In fact, they were so dumb I gave them away to a friend who has hopefully lost them by now. After 8th grade I thought the whole writing thing was just a phase (though I should note I was also writing poetry and songs,which I was praying was not a phase!). But then midway through my first semester as a freshman in a small Christian school in Kentucky (they also exist) I returned to the familiar ground of writing goofball mysteries involving real people. But this time I realized something thanks to their popularity. I thought, “you know, if someone with the IQ of an alarm clock could read and understand this, maybe I could get these published someday!” So the first thing I did when I got home that day was “test run” a story on my alarm clock. It was speechless.

Overjoyed, I continued writing The School-Time Mysteries (creative, right?). Each school year I pushed myself more and the quality improved. My sophomore year I began my first real novel, The Stalking Shadow, based on the series. I finished it a year later and kept plugging away at the short stories. By the time of my high school graduation, I was wrapping up the humorous mystery series and trying to branch out and put some other ideas under my belt. By “other ideas” I mean “one story” but it was a start. Over the last years of high school I was starting to gain a hunk of story concepts that will keep me quite busy for the next few years.

 Now my next task is to somehow get that story published! And I reckon that that’ll be quite a challenge, but God will provide and until then I will wait patiently.
