I grew up in a small southern Illinois town, where the country was filled with never ending cornfields. My childhood was spent in a hospital and at home watching horror movies. When, I reached middle school, I was cast out and was left to drift from one group to another. As a young adult, I joined the military in 2002. Unfortunately, my military career was cut short due to a tumble down the stairs on Zero Day in the Army. Licking my wonders as I return to my hometown, I had the thirst for knowledge and enrolled at the local community college. While studying at my local college, I found a new passion along with my artwork, my love for film, writing. The door opened to the possibility of becoming one of my idols, Stephen King. All of my ideas that have been stirring up in my imagination now can be told through the written word. Knowing one of my other idols, stated to be a good horror writer one must understand human nature. Hence, I continued my college career at Eastern Illinois Unversity and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Sociology. My lust for knowledge didn’t subside gaining my master’s degree in liberal arts. Bittersweet events occurred while working on the first volume of Michel Vamrell’s Saga of Horror as well as my master’s degree, I became a mother in 2011 but, lost my mother the same month. My mother loved to read Stephen King novels in which was my driving force to never stop creating. Now as a signal mother, I want to pave the way for my daughter to chase her own dreams.
