   Biography     

I write for teenagers from a unique perspective - I am a teenager!  I try to make my stories exciting, filled with action and humor, and my characters relatable.

I am now sixteen years old. I was fifteen when I wrote The Fire Stone. I also wrote the next two books in The Reign of the Elements series, The Water Stone and The Wind Stone when I was fifteen, but I wrote the last two books in the five-book series, The Immortality Scroll and The Final Alliance when I was sixteen. 

I just completed the first book of an urban fantasy trilogy for teens. 

I love to write, but I also am very involved with eliminating illiteracy and poverty for children around the world. I believe that teaching children to read breaks the cycle of poverty and exploitation of children. Two years ago I created a non-profit organization called Breaking the Chain with the goal of eliminating illiteracy for children. So far, I have raised enough money to build two schools in Africa and create a children’s literacy center in a woman’s shelter in Colorado. This year, my brother, Nick, who is a junior in college is joining Breaking the Chain and we will be working together on literacy and sustainable development around the world.

Some of the proceeds from The Fire Stone will help fight illiteracy and poverty.
