I write books for young adults because I truly connect with them on some very deep level. They are our hope, our future, and inspiring them to be the best they can be is very important to me.

Our meeting, touching, accidentally connecting immediately, interwoven hand-in-hand, heart-to-heart.

No way to get away. No way to get away. Little change to sneak away... insanity.
