Author's Note
Thank you so much for reading Dream Born! As with all of my books, I like to use these author’s notes to talk about what I was thinking when I wrote the novel. So if you want to a glimpse into what inspired this story, keep reading.
My Life Changed with a Dream
I was so fascinated by my own dreams as a kid that I kept a journal, and I wrote down every single dream for almost four years.
My parents gave me an allowance every week, and I would walk to my local Walgreens and blow it on Sweet Tarts and pocket notebooks. You know, the little ones that you can write on in a moment’s notice.
This was before smartphones existed.
In fact, my biggest fear in life during middle school and high school was losing my pocket notebooks. If I did that, I would have lost all of my dream
