As a 24-year-old Choctaw native of Oklahoma, there are few things I love more than rainy weather, good fry bread, books, movies, and my cat. I've been reading since I was two, and writing stories for as long as I can remember. I won my first writing award from my first grade teacher for a story about a leprechaun that found true love and I was hooked.<br /><br />I just recently graduated from Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas with a degree in English. I also graduated with distinction in Literary Studies and English composition. While at Ottawa University, I also worked as a teaching assistant, a writing center tutor, and a peer reviewer for the English department.<br /><br />I currently reside in central Oklahoma with my husband, our yellow labrador, Hank, our shelter cat, Molly, and our soon-to-be daughter (due in June).
