About the Author

I was born in Poughkeepsie New York in 1996. I was raised mostly by my mother and grew up eight years in Saugerties, New York. We later moved to Hopewell Jct New York and stayed there ever since. I was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome which is high functioning autism when I was an infant. I also have Dyslexia making reading and writing a challenge my whole life. I didn’t even start reading and writing well until I was eleven years old. In my school years, I attended special education classes until I decided to drop out of High school in 2013 when I was seventeen-year-old and earned a TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) diploma a year later. I now work to support my mother and grandmother. Writing became a real good hobby for me; ever since I learned to read I became real interested in history and literary work. I first began writing stories in 2012 when I was in special ed classes in High School and finished my very first book in 2017. Writing helps me express my mind, thoughts and imagination, helps me relieve stress and I can express myself in the stories that I write like a painter or a musician, I use writing as an outlet.
