Despite the fact that I’ve lived my entire life in Central Vermont and have rarely traveled outside of the state, I have a wealth of life experience. I am the mother of three children including two of the most artistic, compassionate and intelligent teenage boys. They both started driving this year and consequently, there is white hair sprouting out of the top of my head. My daughter Ayla is three and runs the house. She has a ton of energy like me and looks just like my wonderful husband-with the exception of her eyebrows and her pinky toe. She definitely got those from me. When I was young, I dreamed of being a lion tamer in the circus. By the time I got to high school, I had decided that I wanted to be a writer. Although I have a B.A in writing and literature, I have found that the passions in both my home and work life are much more in line with being a lion tamer in the circus.
