I'm a freelance writer living in the rural Midwest on ten acres with my husband and three kids, 18, 17 and 11. I've been a writer of nonfiction for over 25 years, and fiction since 2009. I've worked on newspapers as a writer and editor. I was owner and editor of OldFashionedLiving.com for ten years before selling it to work on my fiction projects and my freelance writing career.
