Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, I’m definitely a Canadian West-coaster.    You can occasionally catch me saying, ‘eh’, but that’s probably the extent of my obvious Canadianness.  No, I don’t live in an igloo!

The various jobs I hold are: mommy, wife, writer, site administrator/webmaster (I own and run The Official Jeaniene Frost Fansite), graphic artist (cover art/author promo work), chauffeur, maid, tech-nerd, waitress (or as my daughter likes to call out while eating dinner — SERVER!), hopeless romantic, star gazer, storm watcher, sensitive crab.

I didn’t realize I needed to be writing until the summer of 2007.   Wow, that was a shocker!   And not because it was such a stretch but because I hadn’t thought of it sooner.   No wonder secretly my favorite class in highschool was English, despite the typical response of all jocks — GYM!  That year I read a book that inspired me to write some embarrassing *mumbles* fanfiction, but let’s not talk about that!  Later that same year I was talked into doing NaNoWriMo and I won!   50K words in 26 days.    It was a religious experience and I knew that I needed to be writing.

The purpose for this blog is not singular, as I had originally planned.   When I registered my domain name I had intended this to be a landing page/resume for any interested agents and/or publishing houses.   Well getting published isn’t a short journey and neither is completing your book!    A year passed since that original plan,  and my ideas morphed.   I figured I could use this as a place to flex my writing muscles and talk about all things writing related.   Well I didn’t get around to that either!   I kept thinking, what do I know about writing really?   Who’d want to read my posts?   Now I realize that I shouldn’t confine myself so much.

So here I am – blogging about: being a mommy, eating well and my Vitamix, adoption and loss, reading and writing, and my graphic design work. I hope you find something you like! Comments and sharing are totally welcome and absolutely appreciated!
