I love reading, dancing, singing, acting, dancing, doing yoga, running, sleeping for long periods of time like a bear, and occasionally, being active. (: The reading is an anomaly with myself, I'll admit; but it's just something I've always loved.
The name Dwarf Runner comes from when I used to go running with a friend who was over a foot taller than me. We both loved Lord of the Rings, and would quote the films extensively to each other. There's one great part in the second film when Gimli, the dwarf, says, "We dwarves are natural sprinters, very dangerous over short distances." I am barely over 5 feet tall and my friend is well over 6 feet, you might see how this could become a topic of conversation.
My debut novel Bel, came about because I LOVE Beauty and the Beast; apart from Lord of the Rings, it's one of my favorite films of all time. However, I wanted to change it up and explore the 'tale as old as time' from a new perspective and in a new genre- I have always had a deep abiding love of science fiction.
I've always loved to write and explore new worlds, and I am currently working on the sequel, tentatively titled Yasmin.
