Who am I? First and foremost, I am a writer. And as any writer would understand, while I exist in the real world, my mind is often preoccupied with the imaginary world. I like to believe I have achieved a comfortable balance between the two, but what writer hasn't questioned their sanity at one time or another? My passion is Victorian England, which is the setting for my novels, as well as the theme for my Internet business, Literary Liaisons. In my writing world, I escape to Great Britain in my imagination.
In my professional world, I am a Professional Organizer. It was with utter amazement that I learned one day that I could make a living doing something that comes naturally to me-organizing closets and rooms. My favorite part of my business is helping other writers. I maintain web sites, help schedule blog tours and provide virtual assistant services. Like to learn more? Visit www.virtual-liaisons.com. I am a member of Chicago-North Romance Writers, VA Networking and National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals. For fun, I take long walks, read, and enjoy sudoku puzzles.
And being the Sagittarian I am, I love to travel. My favorite destination? England, of course! In my personal world, I have two beautiful daughters, Jessica and Lisa, two step-children, Samantha and Tommy, and my husband, Steve. What can I say about him besides "WONDERFUL"? He is my personal hero who has helped me through some difficult times. He surprised me one Christmas with an oil painting reproduction of my favorite work-The Hugenot-by Sir John Everett Millais.
It is a gift I will remember forever. His is a love I will keep forever. Also in our household are three loyal (and crazy) dogs. We have Juno, our Akita rescue. She would have ended up in a puppy mill were it not for the efforts of the Midwest Akita Rescue Society. Juno is older sister to Eris and Cerus, two English mastiffs from GNC Mastiffs. Eris and Cerus are both beautiful brindle bundles over 100lbs.
each. We move out of the way when they come running! We live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago for now. We hope to retire to a rural area so we can raise our own food, and rescue Akitas and mastiffs.
