I love to write (most of the time.) I grew up studying music, then studied health and science in college before realizing that I was a little to artsy fartsy for such a structured career field. so in 2010 I quit my job, my husband, daughter and I moved back to central Texas, I had another baby and I started writing a lot more. Since then, I had my third and final baby, I home school all of them, because even though they drive me crazy, they are pretty awesome people to hang out with, and I love watching them learn first hand. I like people to think that I'm dignified and put together, but most don't need to know me very long to figure out that this is definitely not the case. I love stories, and life, and people.
