Writer/artist living in small town Michigan. I am a feminist, paddler, rebel wannabe, constant reader, recovering wine snob, primary caregiver, and anarchist emeritus.
When I was young, I wanted to be an alien. My brothers think I succeeded.
The first book I could read by myself was "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back." The next book I remember reading was Taylor Caldwell's "Dear and Glorious Physician."
By second grade, I had the thickest glasses in my family. Still do. I read by lamp light, moonlight, flashlight, candlelight and the pilot light in the furnace. Books are as important to my survival as water and dark chocolate.
