About me

I read things. I write things for kids. I have two teens and a pre-teen who keep me on my toes, endlessly. I sometimes sleep. I need coffee to start my day. I’m always up for a trial to hike or a beach to occupy. One time I ordered 1000 live crickets, only partially by accident. I really wanted 500.
