Working in secret, she relies on her closest allies, Elliott Myles and Josh Bennett, and together the three are thrust into a high-stakes international manhunt.

I write with passion. I write to inspire. I write to learn. I write to surprise. I write to tell a story. I write for those that love to read.
I've achieved a great many things in my life and i say that not to brag - but to inspire those around me to seek out accomplishment. From the smallest of wins to the biggest of gains, I believe we were put on this earth to strive to be more than what we are. Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of failures and will continue to have them but that's what makes the wins even sweeter. Overcoming my own fears, our world's negativity and other people not believing in me. Those things fuel me. I may not win all the time but it's the trying that counts. Did you get up off the mat and try to stand in the face of adversity? Did you keep climbing that mountain, one step after another?
I truly believe that at the end of everyone's life we are in front of a mirror, naked, being judged by the person staring at us. That person simply and without a sound, asks one question: Did you live your life by doing the right thing? Ironically, most of us already know the answer.
