I am a 22-year-old author based out of Indianapolis. With every chapter I write, I seek to not simply entertain my readers, but to challenge each reader to think, to contemplate something that she once thought simple, to question something that she once thought true. I began writing my first novel, "Heap of Ashes", when I was nineteen years old. My best friend had just left a verbally abusive relationship, and I decided then that I wanted to bring the issue of verbal abuse to the forefront of people's minds, as it is a prevalent issue in society. I hope you enjoy "Heap of Ashes", and be sure to check back for my next novel, "The Philosophical Musings of Mr. Riley", which will be available in 2018.
