I’ve always been drawn to water. Our family moved from the east coast to Southern California a few blocks from the beach when I was nine, and I fell in love. My brother and I would race to brunch at the end of the pier every weekend, and I’d sit on our rooftop for hours writing and listening to the waves. These days, I love the rugged coastline of Highway 1, with its winding roads, creeping fog and endlessly changing skies. The ocean is my place—always.
