I thought I’d left Blackwater, Texas behind 
for good. I didn’t belong in the small town, but my dad wouldn’t 
listen. He dragged me back home in his beat-up truck and dropped a bomb along the 
way: Chase Matthews was moving in with us. He was the golden boy of my high 
school, my former best friend, and the last person I wanted sleeping across the hall. 
His presence was too great a reminder of the ghosts I was trying to 
forget.
I didn’t ask for a hero. I don’t 
want to be saved.
To me, Lilah Calloway meant late nights 
sneakin’ out, moonlit hair, and sparklers in July. She was my best friend until 
the day she left and I’d assumed Blackwater had seen the last of her. Then, 
like a tempest, she rolled back into town for the final half of senior year. The 
chopped hair and dark devil-may-care attitude warned most people away, but I 
knew if I fought hard enough, I could find the lost 
girl.
I didn’t want to be her hero. Some 
girls don’t need to be saved.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing 
and reading. My favorite authors include Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. 
I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina 
Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my 
writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than 
theirs.
