Hello, Madi! :) So sorry for the delay.
I've always loved stories. I was actually very slow to pick up reading when I was in the first grade, until a teacher figured out that I could learn much better if she had me write my own little stapled-together books. If you're looking for an origin point, I'd have to point you there. But the desire to write when I was older... that actually came from a love of reading. Starting in the 5th grade, I read voraciously--mostly as a way to escape from a very difficult and awkward time at school. By 6th grade I'd written my first book all in pencil in a spiral bound notebook. (It was terrible, but it was a start!) From there on, I never really stopped writing.

Hello, Michelle! :)
Unfortunately my schedule is such that I can only take on my monthly quota from Young Adult Books Central. Although you are welcome to submit to them, and I would make a concerted effort to be the requesting reviewer.

Hello, Tushar.
To answer your question... No. I don't have any special feelings toward my astrological sign. I've never fit the personality traits said to be associated with my birth date. (And yes, I was born exactly on my due date.) I don't personally put stock in astrology, but I have a tremendous interest in personality profiling. According to the DISC system, I am a DC--and by the Meyers-Briggs test, I'm an INTJ. To me, their descriptions ring quite true.
Thank you for your inquiry!

Hello Vanessa! Thank you for your question. ^_^
For the time being, I don't have any further books planned for the series. In truth, I hadn't really planned on the second book. But I got so many requests to know what happened next that I decided to go ahead and answer some of those questions for the people who enjoyed the first book. :) The trouble with telling a true story is how limited I am in the material I can draw from. That's not to say there isn't more to the story...but I make a concerted effort not to bore people with things I suspect they'd find less interesting or relevant.
Thanks so much for adding Once Upon a Road Trip to your reading list! I sincerely hope you find it worth your time. :)

Right now I'm on chapter 27 of the first book in a YA sci-fi series, and plotting out a spinoff novel for my YA Contemporary series.
