By: Dawn on: Nov 29,2007 In: The Story of My Life"People assume that I sat down at the age of 70 and started to write. This is quite untrue. I have been writing all my life for my own pleasure but invariably what I wrote I consigned to the rubbish-bin. Looking back, I understand that I was teaching myself to write."
About Me
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.
