Chris Platt Hi Tori,
I grew up on a farm in the Midwest. I had a good childhood in a small town, living close to all my relatives. Back then, you could go away on vacation and not even lock your doors. lol. I moved out west when I was 9. That's about the time I started writing--just poems and short stories at first, then when I grew up and decided to go to college, I was either going to go to veterinarian school or be a journalist. They didn't have a vet school where I lived, so I would have had to sell all my horses and move to a place that had a vet school. I chose print Journalism because I didn't want to have to lose my pets. I started writing books along with newpaper and magazine articles in college, and one day I got lucky and met some fantastic editors who liked my books.
