About Me

ME? Okay, I am a stay at home mother and have been a writer since I was 13. It is a great passion of mine. I also have other passions, but most importantly my greatest love in life is my husband and two sons.My last full time job was in an office, and i vow to never work in one again. I'm ready to try something new. While it would be nice to get a writing job, i'll be happy with just working at a bookstore.What am I about?i'm still trying to figure that out.
