Bio
I've always been a writer. I write for pleasure, clarity, and fun. It has only been later in life I realized others would enjoy my ramblings. I've written a fantasy novel as well as articles on books, travel, crafting, and my chaotic life.

Oh Look, A Squirrel!
From an early age I knew my brain was different from those around me. I had to have several things I was working on all at the same time or at other times I would find myself in a set of hyperfocus forgetting to do important things, like eat. My parents recognized my need for additional structure with the freedom to multi-task and kept plenty of things to keep my hands and mind engaged. There was no such thing as Attention Deficit Disorder then. When I was a kid you either learned to control yourself or you ended up in your bedroom, so you didn’t distract, really annoy, everyone else. I spent a LOT of time in my room. This is when I developed a strong bond to books, especially fantasy stories where my vivid imagination could wander free.

Excelsior!
Everyone has a moment that will be forever etched in their minds. Events that even if there is no proof they happened, you know they did and that’s what matters. I have had several of these moments in my life: some life-changing, some traumatic, and some that are so memorable, in retrospect, you wonder if they really happened.

Ode to Yellow Watermelon
Memories are fickle things. Two people recalling the same event can weave drastically different images since each person focuses on different details. My siblings and I grew up experiencing the world in the same way. If one were to ask either of them what summertime brings to mind, their answers would likely not be the same as mine.
