| Introduction | When I'm not posting notes to myself, I'm working on and querying my New Adult/Adult/YA/Chick Lit Contemporary romantic comedy, or working on my humorous, realistic middle grade novel, researching information for potential articles, teaching a children's literature course, guiding college students through its both treacherous and exciting waters, and volunteering at local community events. Once in awhile I even manage to sell a Christmas tree from our nursery on our farm. I'm also a big believer that pizza should be its own food group. Just sayin'.
