All Adither

Organized Scattered Creative Stagnant Published Rejected Compassionate Critical

I am 40. Gulp. I am currently a stay-at-home mom and freelance writer.

Before this particular venture, I was a graphic designer for an airline’s inflight magazine.

I live in Seattle with my husband, J., who’s an attorney for a large downtown firm and our two kids, Fruit Bat, a six-year-old boy and Kitty Cat, a four-year-old girl.

I write things. Mostly fiction. I’ve been published in a handful of small literary journals like Night Train and The Florida Review. I am looking for representation for my manuscript, The Mating Habits of Fireflies.

I wannabe: more outdoorsy, a shunner of chocolate and all things sweet, a lover of extreme exercise, a wood splitter, logical, good at math, endlessly patient. I am none of these.

But I do enjoy clothes, black coffee, fresh air, sunshine, beaches, mountains, reading, writing, cooking dinner while sipping a glass of wine and listening to Dave Brubeck, my family, watching my children frolic in grassy fields, connecting with my husband (when possible. which is not often.), crate and barrel placemats and expensive paper products.
