I'm an artist, writer, dancer, and also founder/director of a not-for-profit. I could run down a list of experiences and history, but I thought this might be a little more fun…
Some little bits about me that most people don't know…
1
I used to drive a 1976 CJ5 Jeep Renegade - it was mellow yellow, I LOVED it. …except in the rain on days when I didn't have time to put the top and doors back on!!!

It's possible that I alone have single-handedly kept the post-it note industry afloat for the past 20 years! (And btw, Dear Post-It Note companies, the sticking powers of your stickiness have drastically decreased over the years. In fact, they're now fairly un-sticky. They're basically just plain paper. And yes, I know I can use my smartphone for taking notes, but sorry, I'm an old-fashioned kinda'gal.

I can weld (oxy-acetylene torch welding… yes, with the big, black face mask).
When I see people leaving their dogs in a parked car on a hot day, I wait until the person comes out of the store, then, invoking the powers of Nanny McPhee, I lecture them about being a bad dog owner (and sometimes, if they don't seem remorseful enough, I'll even snap their picture, just to freak them out a little more!!!

The characters in the novels I'm writing truly feel like my friends - I actually miss their company when I haven't gotten to write for a while! This experience has taught me that maybe, just maybe, kids with imaginary friends might have a good thing going on.

Salty or Sweet: Why choose? Just have both - preferably in the same bite, please!

My dog was my child, and I still miss him every day.
