"It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it"
-- Oscar Wilde

I get asked all the time:

Why did I want to become an investigator and how did I end up interviewing serial killers!? Well, how it all started is captured right here in this picture -- Nancy Drew!

One question I've asked all the serial killers is:

If you could go back and tell a younger version of yourself something, what would it be?

Looking at this picture I would tell that little girl -- Keep reading! Study! Take notes! -- & buckle up!

I hope my story becomes someone else's survival guide. I hope my story inspires people to keep fighting no matter what. I hope I show people you can rise from rock bottom; the depths of hell and completely change your life around & to never give up hope!
