I was born a really long time ago in Sacramento, California.  From the age of two until the age of eight I lived on a cattle ranch in Auburn with my Mom, Dad and two brothers.  This was my favorite place to live and so I spent the rest of my youth pretending that I was still living in the country.  Considering that I lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, that was a pretty big stretch.  It was good for my imagination.

Jump forward a bunch of years.  I'm living on a few acres in the backwoods of Vermont.  It's not hard to live in the backwoods in Vermont, this state is mostly backwoods.  I now have a husband, four kids, three dogs and two cats.  I used to have six ponies and twenty eight chickens too, but keeping all those animals fed and watered in the winter proved to be too much for me.

I started writing again because a friend of mine dared me to.  She may be regretting that dare because now I make her read all my chapters!  

I try to write about things I have some experience with.  I used to be a type-setter, paste-up tech and motorcycle safety instructor.  I also worked in the housekeeping department of a swank hotel.  So that's why Bree does those things.  I've also been an actor, answering service operator, assistant to the dean of a medical school, instructional assistant, computer instructor and a number of other unremarkable jobs.  So I have plenty of fodder for upcoming novels.

The problem is that I really want to write about being a back-up singer and I don't know a thing about it… We'll have to wait and see if I let that stop me or not!
