edit data

C.L. Forrest (aka Caleb Dessauer) was born in Barnhill, Illinois to Susan and Brain Dessauer. In a family of seven, life has always been interesting for Caleb, but the constant cacophony of his household gets rather bothersome at times, and he finds himself visiting the woods quite a bit. He most enjoys watching ants march by with goods to carry back to their hill. He now lives in Wadesville, Indiana and has just graduated from North Posey High School. He plans to attend Ivy Tech and Murray State, all the while writing more books to add to the fantastical world of written word!

A Good Thing Going

I've got a great thing going for this summer! Since I left my library job, I can go there and do what I want now! Because it's so darn distracting at my house, going to the library with my laptop is perfect! I can read all I want, and type just as much! I got three pages of my current project written today!
