About the Author

 

What can I say, I’m a freaking nutcase.

I’m a 30 something woman, who lives life somewhere on the outskirts of normal. As an aspiring writer, this blog tends to reflect the inner workings of my mind, from the moments of inspiration I’ve felt, to the utter insanity that is raising four kids and just being a woman.

Besides writing, I am an amateur photographer, the artistic side of me loves sitting behind the camera to have a play. I can pick up a pencil and get lost in paper, delve into a book and be swooned in imagination, and look at my children and sit in awe of the wonders they bring me each day.

I also have a sense of humor (oh help me), I can laugh at my faults and get sucker punched by life. Not everything in this world is sugar and spice, so there’s  plenty I like to write about on the lighter side of life. Sometimes I swear, because I’m human and being human allows me to let my hair down once in a while and say something a little less ladylike. Be prepared for that, because I’ll never apologise.

I was born and raised on the west coast of America. I never thought I’d live anywhere else but there, until October of 1999 when I found myself on a plane to the UK. Sometimes life has other plans than the ones you make, going with the flow was the best thing I ever did. I’ve lived here for over 10 years now, loving Europe and calling this place home. 

My other half  is a Dutchman, who likes to show me sometimes that life isn’t all about what I can’t see, but clearly what’s right in front of my face. I love him for that, even if at the time I’m not altogether happy about his pointing out the obvious. He’s also shown me more love and romance in my life than I knew existed outside of the movies. I owe him the world, but I’ll be damned if I can afford it.

That’s me, unique and different and hell, probably just 70% pure hormones. You’ve been warned.
