Life of an Author Bio:
Writer Bio: I’ve been writing since I was ten. My parents didn’t want the burden of raising a child, so I grew up as a Ward of The State - and bounced around from numerous fosters home as well as youth institutions all throughout Connecticut. In 2007, my social worker finally found stable guardians to allow a safe haven till I graduated from Brien McMahon a year later. I would soon attend Southern Connecticut State University with aspirations to achieve a B.A in Creative Writing with Minor in Political Science but I suffered a major loss my senior and forced to withdraw from college entirely. But, I never stopped honing and chasing the craft. It’s the sole reason why I exist today.

What if I slept a little more and forgot about all this nonsense.
