| Location | East Coast, United States |
| Introduction | I am a native California girl currently living on the East Coast amid the mosquitoes and humidity. I teach two brilliantly kooky little girls and write whenever I can, even if it's just a list of...something, although my real writing passion lies in women's fiction. I am obsessed with Christmas and compulsively listen to The Gaslight Anthem every single day. I love standing behind a camera but not in front of one, so my Blogger picture is my second grade photo. As Jim Morrison said, "People are strange." |

Your pajamas have duckies on them. Why did you switch from choo-choos?
I already have "a freight train running through the middle of my head", so I didn't need the reminder. (Thanks Bruce Springsteen for the terrific lyrics!)
