You can find me in Austin, where I am a proud graduating senior of Westwood High School.

How To Cast a Hero
first published March, 2016 (age 13)
Every girl has, at some point, wished to be in a fairytale. That’s exactly where Ashlene Black is headed. However, Ashlene is expected to be a scheming, lying, wicked-to-the-core witch, when all she secretly wants is to be admired as a hero.
When Ashlene is “cast” into the role of a princess, she thinks this may be the start to fulfilling her dreams. But then her own mother is cast as a henchman to a powerful villain bent on destroying Ashlene. The princess and her merry band of misfits set off to rewrite her fairytale on a bumbling adventure across the kingdoms. However, her biggest challenge still remains... Is she truly a hero?
