    Hello folks! I am so excited to announce that I am starting up a weekly blog on my website. Welcome to Behind The Page! This is where I plan to talk about all things writing and what inspires my stories. I thought this would be a great way to expand on my passions for those who are interested in learning more about me as an author and what makes my head tick.
