My niece introduced me to Twilight after it had been around for almost 10 years already. It started with her sitting on my couch reading. I looked over and asked “oh, what are you reading, Twilight? Isn’t that just about sparkly vampires?” She glared at me.

“Yes they sparkle but it’s about so much more” was her response. (One that I would probably give now too.)

Then the next day she asked “Please can we watch the movie?” And I gave in. I was hooked. I read all of the books and watched all of the movies in about a month. It’s an obsession.

Writing makes me happy, and it gives me something that is all my own outside of being a mom. As long as I continue to have ideas and plot bunnies, I'll be here.
