Sometimes A Little Wicked Makes Everything Good!

I always knew I wanted to write. As a kid, way before the technology age had hit, I’d be stuck in the car with the folks as we drove from our home on Staten Island, NY, where I was born and raised, to our family property in the Catskill Mountains. To drive away boredom, I would sit, staring out the window, and create adventures of daring thieves riding horseback along the road, trying to escape the law. Other times I’d imagine a wild girl riding her unicorn into battle (I had a vivid imagination – we didn’t have video games yet!). As the years passed, I’d start writing a book, then stop, then start again only to let life get in the way, until one day I had an epiphany—a kick in the pants moment. If I waited any longer, all those wonderful characters in my head would never have their stories told, and that made me sad. So, I treated writing as my career. Once I started, it became apparent nothing would ever stop me again. YOU, dear reader, are stuck with me until I go off to that great library in the sky…or wherever writers go when they crumble to dust in front of their typewriters (or laptops…whatever!). I live in the North Georgia mountains on what I like to call a farm, with my husband and almost adult kids, a Cairn Terrier, a bunch of cats, and fish. Occasionally other critters show up to keep things exciting (don’t ask about the rat snakes. I’m cool…let’s just say the husband isn’t and leave it at that).
