I'm a mother (of four), wife (of one), and novelist (of seven), with dozens more book ideas swimming around in my head and slowly leading me toward certain insanity. Of this I have no doubt.

In Addition to Writing, I Love to:

• *Read (when I have time--ha, ha)
• *Bake (everyday if I could afford the calories)
• *Eat (anything but organ meats, McDonald's, or chicken)
• *Sleep (not that I remember what that is, since my 5 year old is still waking up every other night)

I also love:

• *Movies (funny, dramatic, inspiring)
• *Clean counter tops (I say this as if I have some or even remember what they look like)
• *Good chocolate (Mmmmmmmmm)
• *Rainy days (instant excuse to stay inside and write, read, bake, and eat)
• *Mornings when my favorite jeans fit just right (self-explanatory to anyone of the female gender).

I'm a member of the LDS church (good stuff), parts-of-the-world traveler (not nearly as often as I'd like), and chicken farmer (has nothing to do with my not liking to eat chicken).

My favorite quote:

"Use your talents, for use is why they were made. What is a sundial in the shade?"

~Benjamin Franklin
