Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I enjoy reading, writing, drawing, blogging,and reviewing stuff Also I’m a LDS boy scout. How I started my writing career was because I ran out of space on my bookshelf back in 2010. So I started to write personal fan fiction. On December 25, 2011, I got a kindle for a Christmas present, and it changed my entire view on the world. Back in March 2013 I found Smashwords, and so created my 1st self published book at age 16.
