ello, oops, hello its 4:14AM when I'm writing this, so bear with me, I gave up sleeping awhile back...

 I'm a country bumpkin, Lol. I love warm weather, gardening, children, animals, art, photography, helping people, education...I have many interest, mainly in the creative fields and out doors. Most of my time is spent at my desk--somewhat hibernating from the cold Ohio winds, rain and snow/ice. 

I am a student (still) and one of these days, I will finally obtain my hard earned Bachelor's Degree in Humanities as an English & Creative Writing major. I have had the great pleasure of studying with some awesome writers such as:  Pulitzer Prize Nominee: Lee Martin, Author and Full Bright Scholar, Steven Kuusisto and another favorite: Coordinator for ASL, (her bio is way too long for this: Brenda Brueggaman

These teachers helped me become a better writer--and a better person.

I obtained my first degree in the School of Hard Knocks. Like many of us, we have survived some challenging feats in our lives, and one of the greatest things about our profession is that we can take our experiences whether good or not so good, and create words that may help others who are faced with similar circumstances.
