Greetings and salutations! I’m Madeline Fryar, but I go by Maddy. I am a sophomore and this is my first year on the Cat Talk staff. I am also a proud member of Millbrook’s own Tempest. I love music, writing, makeup, musicals, and all things mysterious. My favorite TV show is The X-Files. You can catch me after school hanging out with my friends, babysitting my four dogs, or napping. I have always had a love for writing, and I’m looking forward to sharing it with you! Thanks for reading.
