Brief Author Bio:

I was born in So. Cal, but transplanted to western New Jersey at a young age. After a few formative years passed, I was scooped up and put on a plane back to California for a rocky adolescence in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I was forced to go away for college (in hopes that I'd shape up), and I choose to go to New York.

I tried to be a music major but my abilities didn't seem to support my decision. So I got depressed, slept for a few months (essentially) and failed out.

Then I got married and became a Police Dispatcher in New Jersey.

Then my husbands family slowly eroded our sanity and I convinced my husband that California was the perfect refuge. After all- my parents were there and we'd probably get alot of free food.

We were right- it was a good choice.

Now we are living deep in the woods of Northern California, playing house with 3 kids, a mortgage and all the trappings that seem to indicate we have reached adulthood.

I pretend to be an artist, bringing in a meager dollar here and there. But I aspire to write- though my brain does most of the churning, I can't seem to get my fingers to cooperate with the whole typing thing.

I think that says enough.
