I really wanted to because I love the story of Cyrano de Bergerac. I have a life-long love affair with animals, especially dachshunds, and always have an animal or two snuggled close when writing. I’m rarely – if ever – found without my laptop, iPhone, and iPad. I live with my family in Central Texas, where I read and write daily. I couldn't make it through a day without either one of them. I am so blessed by every single one of my many nieces and nephews.
To read the story on how I managed to secure such heavenly representation, check out my interview with fellow author and friend, Vicky Dreiling.
After several years, I was offered representation by the one and only, 100% magnificent Holly Root with Waxman Literary Agency. I surrounded myself with stellar writers and the rest, as they say, is history. I’ve been an avid reader since I was in the third grade and discovered Judy Blume, but it wasn’t until I read Janet Evanovich’s “How I Write” that I actually considered writing. Wouldn’t it be cool if I was one of those people who said they’d always wanted to write and this was all I’d ever done? Yeah, well. I love my job and the kids I get to spend my days with! If you follow me on Twitter, you'll see some posts about how much I love my job. Since then, I’ve taught everything from 2nd grade to high school juniors. After eleven years in college (hey, I was busy!) Dad announced I couldn’t be a professional student, so I finally declared a major and graduated with my teaching certificate, reluctantly leaping into the scary waters of adulthood. I loved school so much, in fact, I tried to make a career out of it. life's a lot more fun when you don't plan it down to the very last detail. As for "the plan," I've realized life isn't as predictable as we want it to be. Honestly, if I had a dime for every time I've walked out of the house with one earring on. If I'm wearing jewelry, I can't promise it'll match or make any sense. But the truth is, I'm most at home in jeans and a t-shirt. That girl that always has it together - her clothes are perfect, jewelry just right, life perfectly organized and operating according to "the plan" she scribbled in her diary at the wise old age of 13.
