The featured author for June is Susan Cooper, author of the amazing The Dark is Rising series. I reread these books last summer and was captivated again. It’s a terrific series of books; if you love your children, you must buy them these books!
Summer is here in Ohio and it’s going to be 86 degrees and humid today. (As they say, it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.) I’m having my own personal summer ‘cuz the clomid is giving me hotflashes. Pretty amusing although I see how it could get old. I haven’t had any of the dizziness that I had last month.
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.
