The fortunate inherit riches, prestige, positive notoriety. Those not so lucky bear legacies filled with poverty, infamy or, worse yet, the unhinged insanity and murderous urges of their ancestors.
It is no secret that I love to write. I started writing poetry and short stories when I was very young. I remember writing a letter to my grandma, whom I lived with, every night. As a child most of my writing was about my dogs. This is a habit that I did not quit all together. I still write poems about my pets every now and then.
Besides being a writer, I am a wife and mother of two. I have been with my husband, Randy, for 15 years. My son's, Michael, 14 and Dakota, 6, keep me very busy. People often ask me how I found the time to write. My answer to that is I write when they sleep.
My family and I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. It is a beautiful place but the weather is totally unpredictable. It has been my expreiance, however, that nothing in life is ever predictable.
