When I was in High School, I took a latin class and as much as I would wish I remembered all of it, I can only fluently say one phrase 'Edo, ergo, sum.' – translation 'I eat, therefore, I am.' I have lived and laughed under that phrase ever since!'
I am an aspiring novelist/screenwriter from Philadelphia, who has both a love for action, adventure, fantasy, comedy, romance, and Jane Austen herself. My wish is that my novels bring as much joy to the readers as so many other books have done for me, and at the very least to see a little bit of themselves in these books, as they were meant to.
