Hi there! I live in Portland, Oregon—my main hobbies are reading (I'm a little obsessive about it, in most genres), writing (I'm a published author), choral singing (I sing with a little group), movies/TV, and running (I'm not what you'd call fast). I live with my spouse, and we have two adult children. Ever since I was a kid, I've loved receiving mail: I used to write to authors, baseball players, and actors, and loved getting their responses. I still get a little excited every time the mail comes, even though it's mostly junk mail these days. That's why I'm here—let's exchange letters!
