: About Me

I am a daughter, a mother, a wife - master of my home on most days, a confused spectator on others. I am an attorney, a writer, and business owner. I am a riddle in nine syllables, wait, that's Sylvia Plath. I never really liked her work...

I have worked as a magazine editor, a freelance copywriter and a journalist. I enjoy writing too much to ever abandon it, so I have kept it as a hobby (that sometimes pays a bill or two).

My passion is ...

living.

I know too much about ...

-wait, how can you ever know too much?

My parents always told me ...

that they were proud of me. And to clean my room.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be an architect, until I failed physics.

My favorite memory ...

keeps changing. Life is good.

Why I write ...

-because it spills out of me. Without writing I would burst.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I have discovered the TV series "House," so I am watching the repeats as I fold laundry or cook dinner. I don't know how to "single-task."

My first job ...

was a clerk at a grocery store. I was 15.

My best moment ...

is hard to choose. I have two beautiful daughters and a solo law practice that is starting to take off. Good moments abound!

My inspiration ...

comes from everything and everyone around me.
