My first passion in life, however, has always been singing and songwriting. I've been doing a lot more of that in the months since I moved from Los Angeles, California, to Nashville, Tennessee. Maybe it's something in the fresh country air?

Oh, and did I mention that I randomly landed a job at a private boarding school like the one I've patterned the one in my YA secret society novel after?!
