It's all about me

After being born, I grew up... like ya do...  During that process my family moved around a lot just because my dad worked in a very specialized field and jobs were geographically far apart.

Of course this means I developed a love of travel.  I lived in Nahe Germany for two and half years, and have traveled to France, Denmark, Canada and most recently Fiji, to name a few places.

I've been married to my Angry Chef of a hubby for 14 years, and our two cats share our Sacramento home.

Other than writing, I belly dance at Hot Pot Studios under the direction of Amy Sigil and Unmata (www.unmata.com).  I make my own jam, garden less often than I should and spend time with my friends at "The Commune".

Oh!  And I abso-freaking-lutely love The Cruxshadows (www.cruxshadows.com)!!!  I've seen them in concert twice... and there is proof!
