About Me
I was born in the city, raised in the suburbs, and well cultured at heart. Born a brat of a military brat, I moved around a lot. I'm fast driven. I read, write, play piano, and study. I'm finishing my first out of three degrees. I will be fluent in ASL and will write a novel. I'm everywhere at once. When I'm settled, I read, write, camp, hike. I'm reading Sophie's World and Chicken Soup for the Writer's soul.
