At the ripe old age of 8, I decided it was time to write things down. Not having the confidence or poise to fully express myself through speech, writing became my voice. This started as silly notes passed in class. Then short stories full of imagination. And eventually poems and simple songs. My writing has evolved over time, but I try to keep my voice in every piece. With my dog Chewy keeping watch, I put my book "The Phantom Spark" together to continue my evolution. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
