I remember when '30 Something' was my Mom's favorite TV show - now it's how old I am. I've lived all over - I was born in Maine, raised in southern Minnesota, went to college in Wisconsin, lived in Michigan and Ohio, and done my fair share of traveling both for business and pleasure. Now I'm back in Minnesota - I live and work in the Minneapolis - St. Paul area.

I thought for sure I'd grow up to be something really cool - like an astraunaught, a doctor, a lawyer... I planned to become an engineer... but then I met Calculas... needless to say - we did not get along! So after many adventures with a career in outside sales that took me all across the country, I now find myself working in a finance department as a business analyst - not what I had in mind as a kid - but I love it.

What am I working on right now? Well quite a lot actually... plot bunnies continue to find new and interesting ways to ambush me. They are stealthy little things... I'm pretty sure mine are ninja plot bunnies with the way they are able to sneak up on me. So you'll continue to see stories from me for what I hope will be quite some time to come.

I do promise however, that while I may occasionaly take a break here or there from a story - I will never leave one unfinished. I find it extremely unfair to all of you who have vested so much time and energy into reading it - as well as all the time and energy I've invested into writing it.
