My latest (and only, I should probably add) book is all about meeting my best friend Kyah. I was only eighteen when I decided to fly across the ocean to London, England; and that was intimidating to say the least. Over the course of three months, I worked two summer jobs and had to figure out how to travel to another country on my own. It was easily the most thrilling decision I've made in life, and I can't say Kyah feels any different. ;)

I think it would be easier to describe what's not on my desk: Open space. Kidding aside, I've got a microscope on one end of my desk, and beakers on another. Oh, and of course, lots and lots of books!

As a young child, I moved from Louisville, Kentucky to Austin, Texas. From Texas, it was to New Albany, Indiana for a year. And finally, at the age of ten, we settled in Loretto, Kentucky-- a super-small town in the middle of nowhere. Growing up in the country, I learned more than I wanted about farming. Also, I had lots of down time to play sports or do whatever else. This type of freedom allowed me to always be curious, which I believe is the foundation for my constant imagination.

My iPad is a must when reading any type of fiction or biographical work.

This is going to sound super nerdy, but I can't get enough of textbooks. I LOVE science, and when I have free time I'm learning (or trying to learn) about different subjects. Currently, I'm on a Javascript book.
