A fan of all things Halloween, but terrified of scary movies. Lover of fresh flowers, with the notable exception of carnations. Don't expect a woman to be flattered by the same flowers you paid $1.00 for back in junior high on Valentine's Day. I'm a true romantic, which is to say I find flaws unexpectedly beautiful and think life is at its best during the in between moments you don't find on FaceBook or Instagram. I'm lucky enough to share my life with someone who agrees reclaimed is better than new, antiques always trump contemporary and it's a close call who should be saved first from a burning building - us, or our English Bulldog. I'm new to the writing game, but I love it and the respite it provides not just me, but also, I hope, my readers.
