Nell lives in Columbia, Maryland with her family. Although she is only fifteen, she is an avid writer and enjoys writing whenever she has a break between her normal schooling and other hobbies, including acting and playing basketball and softball. Nell has a wide variety of interests, proving that age does not limit you in achieving your goals, or having fun. Her message for kid-authors: “Write until either your brain is out of ideas, or your hand falls off—whichever comes first. But if your hand does fall off first, write with the other, and never stop chasing your dreams!”
