I am a writer/artist living in South Chicagoland. At the moment, I am seven months pregnant and struggling at two full-time jobs to try and keep the bills paid and my local gaming store open. Aside from artwork and writing, I also love to sing, listen to music, read, play video games, watch movies, learn new things on the Internet, explore my community, and enjoy the ever-changing beauty of Lake Michigan.

My passion is ...

I could never narrow it down to just one passion!

I know too much about ...

One can never know too much...aside from things requiring the Witness Protection Program...

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

I wanted to be a doctor...then an opera singer...then a horticulturalist/botanist...then an actress/artist/creative consultant/director/editor/producer/writer/business owner/mother/the very model of a modern major general

My favorite memory ...

I love waking up next to my beloved, especially when we wake up at about the same time, look at each other, smile, and say, "I love you."

Why I write ...

For me, writing is like breathing-if I am not writing, I am not living

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

I'm reading books on advertising and telecommuting, watching whatever I can get on youtube, and listening to whatever happens to be playing

My first job ...

I babysat children whose parents were friends with my mother

My best moment ...

It would have to be the moment that I accepted Jesus Christ on Mother's Day 1987; with God's help, I have been able to do things I never thought possible and survive tragedies that would break the heartiest spirit.

My inspiration ...

Life is my inspiration-if I am not interacting with other living creatures, it is difficult to be inspired to do anything!
