I am a thirty something mom, aspiring author and wife, usually in that order.  All joking aside, I am truly blessed to have a wonderful husband and family who supports my writing.  I have been published in a non-fiction capacity as part of my pre-children career as a research wildlife biologist, however, it is my dream to someday see my novel in print. 

     Manhunt, my first venture into that forum, has been honored with the Editor's Choice award on this site, and came in first place in the voting round of the Dorchester Next Best Celler contest, earning it a spot as a semi-finalist. 

     I love editing almost as much as I love writing.  I tutored English Composition and ESL in college and find it very fulfilling to be able to help someone polish and shine their story. 

     When I'm not writing, I enjoy reading, scrapbooking, baking, geocashing, and playing with my kids.   I rarely watch television, unless it's Survivorman or Flash Forward, but almost always have music playing.   The music on my iPod ranges from classic rock to Scottish bagpipe music, from Enya to Eminem.  You never know what you might hear.

     I've recently protected my tweets on Twitter.  Don't be afraid to request to follow me, however!
