Minerva Spurlock

When I was eight and after I finished reading The Curse of Capistrano, I wanted to follow in Zorro's footsteps. I was able to make a mask, but my parents refused to buy me a horse, so that dream was quickly extinguished. When I was ten and after I finished reading The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, I wanted to follow in Robin's footsteps. I had a bow and some arrows, but my parents would not allow me to live out in the forest behind our house, so that goal became a pipe dream. When I was thirteen and after I finished reading A Study In Scarlet, I was inspired to follow in the footsteps of the great Sherlock Holmes. Being that my family was from England and I had a magnifying glass, I thought I was well on my way. I got sidetracked with school and extracurriculars while waiting for a murder to happen in my town.

I have several passions including reading, writing, and learning. When I am not volunteering my time to local animals in need or environmental clean-ups I hone my nap-taking skills.
