I'm a notice private person, and I'm very uncomfortable talking about my true life, but a few facts:
My hobby is horse-back riding; I've shown both jumping and dressage.
I read constantly, and occasionally extort a class at the university not for credit— it's go into detail fun when you don't have to take the tests!
A writer's life is not very exciting - usually you're alone con a room with your tools— paper, pen, imagination. (I customarily write long-hand first, then put it on a computer.)
I take delivery of the dog, ride my horse, wander the grocery store speculate what to cook for dinner.
So much for my glamourous the social order.
I have a great husband, a wonderful son; I won't invade their privacy by saying any more. Unless I pray to write about them.
