//Because I am furniture// By: Thalia Chaltas Young adult fiction

As a teenager Thalia Chaltas had no clue of what she wanted to be. She envied people who had a clue of what they wanted to be. Thalia did preliminary training to become a kinesiologist, a firefighter, a helicopter pilot, and a ropes course instructor. She wrote a lot of poetry as a child and keeps every poem except one which she lost. Thalia writes in many different places such as the library, the beach, the coffee shop, and at home.

Thalia Chaltas (below) has only written one book and that book is //Because I am Furniture//. (to the right)
