More about me:
Born and raised in California, I now live in Sacramento. I moved back to California in 2015 after being out of state for a decade. I earned my Master’s in Library and Information Studies in 2007 and I’ve done a wide variety of librarian work, including selecting children’s books. When not writing, editing, or answering research questions, I’m usually reading, petting my cats, or drinking tea. I also maintain a blog where I interview both traditionally published and independently published authors, which can be viewed by selecting Blog/News.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”~Theodore Roosevelt
