Hello!
I've written a few of these in my time, and I'm still mystified what i should say. What I feel is the most important? Well, I've written two books and am trying to write more, and I've written short stories. And even better, the first of these two will be published next year, the second a year after that. When I'm not writing I'm a secretary for a department of history at a university, a job I take a (odd, for someone who expected to use her English creative writing differently...I expected to become a librarian, which I was, for awhile...) great deal of pleasure in.
My passions include books, crafting, costuming and history. I love stories...anything from folk lore about stones to the odd thing you saw at the grocery store. Life is made up of stories, and I think that there is truth to the idea that we owe it to each other to share them.
