“Stories have kind of become my life,” Cox said. “I have always loved to read.”
She explained that her writing style follows with her favorite type of reading, fast-paced adventure and fantasy stories. She also writes for Historic Union County online.
“If you like to write, it’s like a compulsion,” Cox said. “You can’t NOT do it.”
