I write fiction and non-fiction for both children and adults, I like to mix genres. And I play around with poetry. I published mostly short humorous essays about living in Alaska until this year when my novel, THE COVE was published. It is a quirky, romantic fantasy with a little mystery thrown in, aimed at young adults.

What a good excuse to go shopping

I have a booksigning on the 19th. What a good excuse to get a new outfit and have my hair and nails done. Plus I bought new ink pens and lots of chocolate. I think I'm all set. I'd love it if you would tell me about some of your booksigning events--what went well, what didn't. I must say, I prefer writing in my bed, but I am trying to transform into an social butterfly as fast as I can.

Nice to meet you. To answer your question, I have been at fanstory for a few years now and I like it quite a bit. I have won a few hundred dollars in the contests, which is nice, and get some good feedback and edit suggestions. I have not done much with the others I listed, but plan to in 2009.

I knew Bill Varnes. He lived in Mesa, AZ in the early 1970s. When I dated him, he had custody of his 4 year old daughter. I wrote a poem about her: Ode to a Little Girl.

Since he's in AZ, he might be your kin?
