About the author

My name is Darien Cadena, I am 16 years old and I'm a junior. I like to go out with my friends and explore places we've never been to before. I'm a huge cat lover. Right now I have a tabby cat and a white/ black cat, but we used to have so much more. Dogs are cool too. I kind of just recently got a German Shepherd/ Akita mix. One of my favorite shows is Erased. I could watch this show many times and not get bored of it. My favorite movie is This is the End, I recommend it.

I can't remember when I started writing, but I know my brother helped me out when I was barely learning. I was told I was starting off writing with my left hand until my family got me more used to the right. Middle school helped a lot in improving my writing. In 7th grade we had to write a story about really anything we can come up with, it was fun coming up with random ideas for my story. I enjoy writing when I’m writing about something I'm passionate about. My 8th grade teacher, Mrs. Agnello, was great in helping me improve my writing. She helped me realize what I need to improve on and what I have strong skills in.
