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 vocal abilities (as well as my total lack of effort) 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 call myself an artist- though, I'm not sure my meager once-in-a-great-while earnings count as a real career. I'd love to teach someday, when I have time to go back to school for a couple of eons.

I'd also love to sing in a band. Perhaps a barbershop quartet or a Peter, Paul and Mary tribute.

I think that says enough.
