about me

Married mother of three ~ Had kids way too young ~ Live in a crappy rented out double wide I don't know how to keep clean ~ About to be fired because of the budget ~ Spent the last ten years of my life in a uniform to make a better life for my family ~ Put myself through college and received a BA in Special Education all while having kids and serving in the military.

Getting back into the Literary Roots that made me so happy so long ago ~ I've been a writer since I was seven and have had stories in my brain my whole life ~ Too busy paying bills, doing laundry, cooking, playing Peek-A-Boo and filling in the hole I dug for myself to get all these people in my head on paper.

Everything they said I couldn't do ~ I'VE DONE.

I'm in the mood to add something new to the list.

I read every single Babysitter's Club and R.L. Stine book ever written between the ages of 8 and 11

As a young adult I loved trashy Romance Novels ~ read hundreds of them.

Edgar Allen Poe. Enough Said.

College I was too busy with kids and textbooks to drown myself in the deep, rich, literary works and NY Times Best Selling Authors (even though I tried!)

Yes ~ I love Twilight (and I ask you leave me alone about it.)

Seriously unimpressed with all that descriptive crap "Really Great Author's" fill up their books with ~ just give me the story ~ I'm WAY TO IMPATIENT to have to look up what all those words mean ~ HINT: using the word "providential" opposed to "fortunate" doesn't make you smart ~ it makes you an asshole for forcing me to bust out the Thesaurus (thank you Kindle for helping me with that ~ otherwise I'd have been screwed reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.")
