    Biography

    Inspiration

    My inspiration comes from my favourite childhood author Judy Blume. I remember going to bed every night with her and a flashlight, reading until wee hours in the morning. When I got older I enjoyed the scary novels written by Lois Duncan. My inspiration for 56 Water Street comes from my fascination for the supernatural and my love for writing.
