Introduction I am a stay-at-home-mom of two young children (Ben, a music lover, and die hard Wiggles fan, age 10 who has Down syndrome, Celiac disease, speech apraxia, and Hypothyroidism and Katherine, a non-stop talker with a huge imagination, age 6). I am also the wife of the love of my life, Eric (an airplane fanatic, oops, I mean electrical/systems engineer turned manager).
Interests I have many, many interests (obsessions?) including:my family, children, God, disability issues, down syndrome, celiac disease, cooking gluten-free, parenting, shells, ocean life, photography, architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright, music, gardening, landscape architecture, dogs, cats, hiking, camping, waterfalls, reading, airplanes (thanks to my husband!), travel, Apple computers, learning new things... However, right now I mostly have time for... my two children.

Favorite Music Blues, rock, jazz, some country, classical, some kids music
Favorite Books Guess How Much I Love You, Where the Red Fern Grows, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, anything by Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lacky, Christopher Stasheff

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

By traveling to far away places where they have never heard of me.
