40 something mother and wife, I am in love with reading and writing. My other passions include photography and horses, and my longsuffering family is squeezed in there as well. Thanks guys! I live in Bend, Oregon and train horses when I am not writing or creating photographic art or skiing, hiking, or, well, you probably get the picture. I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them. I look forward to your feedback. Thanks for looking!
