So who am I? A writer, a reader, a poet. A video game nerd ~ I heart Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, and Legend of Zelda. A cat owner. A movie goer, music lover, boyband groupie. A queer author who remembers all too well the pains of high school, first love, and how it felt to ride the school bus when all the "cool" kids had their own car. Who knows what it's like to be different in a school of clones, to feel different, look different, act different.
Who wants to put those feelings down on paper so others know they aren't alone.
More specifically, I live in Virginia with two very spoiled cats. I run JMS Books LLC and Queerteen Press full-time, and I've always wanted to be a writer, so I write.
Some of my favorite YA authors and books are:
- Andrew Smith -- Grasshopper Jungle
- Goldy Moldavsky -- Kill the Boy Band
- J.K. Rowling -- Harry Potter series
- James Dashner -- The Maze Runner series
- Rick Riordan -- Percy Jackson, Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, and Trials of Apollo series
- Scott Sigler -- Generation series
- Suzanne Collins -- The Hunger Games series
