I’m happily married to the love of my life (don’t gag) and
raising three beautiful children in the gorgeous state of Virginia. We live
just outside Washington, D.C., and every day I wake up to find myself stuck in
traffic trying to get there.
The
horrid commute gives me plenty of time to zone out and think about my
characters in full, brilliant details—I’m a safe driver; don’t worry. Stories
give me a way to forget about the sometimes smelly strangers sitting next to me
on the fifty mile trek into town (I pick up hitchhikers every day. True story.
Check out www.slug-lines.com if
you don’t believe me).
I’ve
been a part of organized hitchhiking for nearly fifteen years, but that’s just
one small aspect of my oh-so-large life. When I’m not working, commuting, or
chasing after my three children (four if you count the man), you can usually
find me outside talking to my chickens like they’re the cutest things in the
world (they are), or training my amazing dogs how to herd said chickens (which they
love), or curled up on the sofa with a good book (why can’t that be 100% of the
time?).
I hope you love my stories (or just like them a little; that
would be okay, too). And I hope that one day you find your passion, because
there’s nothing in life better than doing what you love while surrounded by
people you love.
