Hello there! I’m April Rain, and I hail from the vibrant streets of Brooklyn, NY, where the hustle and buzz never stopped shaping my creative spirit. My journey in writing began at Nassau Community College, where each class I took was another step toward discovering my voice. Inspired by the emotional depth of Terry McMillan and the imaginative realms of Stephanie Meyers, I've learned to weave narratives that resonate with heart and wonder. I believe in the power of stories to connect us, and through my writing, I strive to create worlds that invite you to step in, explore, and stay awhile. Let’s embark on this adventure together, and see where the stories take us!
