Hi, I'm Layken! I'm a new writer who loves using words to share my thoughts, feelings, and opinions with the world. My first story, One Tide, Two Hearts, is my debut, and I'm excited to write more stories like it - I especially love family-based books with relatable conflicts and problems that not everyone knows how to deal with. Writing these kinds of stories lets me explore the challenges people face in everyday life and connect with readers on a deeper level.

I also have a passion for poetry. For me, poetry is more than just words on a page - it's a way to process my emotions, reflect on my experiences, and express thoughts that sometimes feel too big for regular conversation. While many of my poems are personal, not every one is about me; some are inspired by the world around me or the emotions I observe in others. Writing poetry helps me understand myself better, and it gives me a space to be honest and creative in a way that feels freeing.

I'm not an expert (yet 😏), but I'm always eager to learn, grow, and improve. I love connecting with readers who resonate with my stories and poems, and I hope my writing can leave even a small impact on anyone who reads it.
