    Michaelyn Cortez: Wife, Mom, Teacher, Author?Yeah, well I have the question mark there because I am still wondering about that last one. I think of myself as more of a "reader" who just happened to "write something." I guess since I have completed 2 novellas and a collection of short stories I might say I am an author. Hmm?As for me, as in JUST about me...that's hard to say...I try to embarrass my kids...don't all parents do that? I have been married over 16 years...a lot of people CAN'T say that...I hate cooking...I don't mind folding towels...I hate putting on fitted sheets...I love singing...Bacon and coffee = great smells...I love that you have continued to read this through even though you must have had something better to do! :)
