About Me
My Story
Even as a young child I was always making up stories and filling them with colorful characters, or changing the stories I read to suit them to my tastes. I would write these over-the-top dramatic scenes where everyone died or fell in love. My writing has evolved since then, I don't kill all my characters.

True love is meant to be.
Reunite me with this love that’s lost,
Never mind about the cost.
A love that’s pure will overcome.
And awaken a heart that’s numb.”

Betrothed to her best friend and in the role of Princess, no less, it appears as though a happily ever after awaits. But as her wedding day approaches, Aly realizes her fairytale world is not as it seems. Dark secrets and lies threaten the love she sacrificed everything for.
