I'm a writer of 20 years. Originally, I was a Research Assistant with a B.S. in Biology who thought I wanted to go to med school - but that changed once I found the right man and had a family (you know how it is).

I also work as a freelance editor. And when I'm not playing with words, I'm a proud mom of one daughter, two little budgies,and a schiperke pound puppy. I've been blessed!
