First and foremost, I am a Christian, but don't let that be the way you judge me. I love my Lord, but I also don't try to cram rhetoric down other peoples' throats, because that is just not how I work. I believe in letting people make up their own minds about who or what they want to believe in, and if my path is the path you choose, I am more then happy to help guide you, and if it's not, I am more then happy to respect your views.
I was born in North Carolina as the eldest child of a USMC officer, and I spent my childhood moving from place to place before settling in California, where I lived until 2007. I now live outside Des Moines, Iowa. I currently work a full time job in customer service and write in my "free time".
I am married to a wonderful man who loves me immensely. I have two wonderful cats. I have a handsome stepson who is creative and funny. I have a wonderfully large and supportive extended family, and in-laws who are equally loving and supportive.
I love to look up at the clouds on a beautiful day. I love the sound rain makes as it hits the ground. I enjoy listening to snow fall. I love the sound water makes as it flows. I love the smell of autumn leaves and hot coffee and fresh earth.
I love to read and practically devour books. I have been jokingly called a bookworm, and have always had my nose in one book or another. Reading is an outlet for me, and I try to read a balance of non-fiction and fiction books. I like almost every genre of literature, but my favorite authors are C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, E. L. Konigsburg, Lois Lowry, and Jerry Spinelli.
I love to write. I always have. I write extensively, be it history works or fictional stories or even just blog post musings.
I extremely dislike people that have the “do as I say, not as I do” mentality and people who don’t want to see anyone else’s point of view. If you have a narrow mind, I pity you because it means you are missing out on the world around you. I try to believe in the motto "to each his/her own" although there are times when it is hard for me.
