I’m currently an RWA PRO Member, and a member of the WisRWA (Wausau Area) chapter & the FF&P online RWA chapter (I’m also a member of the FF&P
Mudpuddle critique group).
I live in central Wisconsin (paper mill central!) 2 hours north of Madison. I ’m the married mother
of two, with a calico cat who rules the roost and two gray half-Arab mares who think they’re people
and are teaching my children to ride.
I’m a study in contrasts. I’m a Navy brat and a cop’s kid. I’m the lone vet tech in a family of nurses.
Growing up all my friends were boys and Arabian horses, but I’d stand a date up to go horseback
riding in the mountains. My ideal weekend is
caving, the muddier the better, or rappelling, but it takes
me twenty minutes to lean back over that cliff – every single time. Steve Irwin was my hero, but I’m
deathly
afraid of snakes and spiders.
When I’m not writing, I’m running between my day job as an insurance customer
service phone rep,
figure skating lessons, flag football & karate lessons. I drive a
minivan. I am not a soccer mom. I HATE
to shop, unless it’s horse stuff. I own 2 pairs
of shoes, 3 skirts and 1 dress. I live in jeans in the summer
and sweats in
the winter.
I have pierced ears but never wear earrings. I love the Dark
Ages, Medieval Renaissance fairs, and scrapbooking. My favorite flowers are lilies.
When I get time to read, I love fantasy, action, and dark paranormal. My favorite
book is The Ladies
of Mandrigyn by Barbara Hambly. I want to be Mercedes Lackey
when I grow up. I love reading Suzanne
Brockmann, Lori Foster, Sherrilyn Kenyon,
Christine Feehan & Angela Knight. In non-fiction I love history
from Ancient Egypt &
Greece through the Dark Ages, also New Age/Magical Arts. I’m a writing
book junkie.
I could start my own reference librarian/research business.
I will have to die in my current house because all my friends refuse to haul
my book
collection another foot.
Not even one little box. I’ve always loved writing. In school I was the only kid to have a MAXIMUM word count. My Grandma Jeanne
is my inspiration; she was the first writer in our family. My
children write, also. Watch for
“The Adventures of Robin Hood and Flame Girl” and “Lambie and Sparkle Go To The Woods”.
They’re going to be the next big thing!
My kids dream of getting a dog. I dream of not needing a day job. My
husband dreams of a wife that puts
housework before writing.
And the race is on . . . |
