Contrary to popular belief, most authors do have day jobs
just like everyone else. I'm happily ensconced at an
advertising agency as an editor/proofreader. In my previous
corporate life I've been a magazine editor, advertising
copywriter, and writer of corporate marketing materials of
every description. Writing's what I love, so writing's what
I do. And I consider myself blessed beyond belief that I get
to do what I love and get paid to do it.
One thing many writers find is that they have little time
for anything that doesn't involve writing (especially when
there's a deadline looming). Not a problem really, since we
spend most of our time attached to a laptop or a notebook &
pen because we love it. But when I'm not at my desk, I like
to read (when I can make the time) and sing in my church's
choir and ensemble. And I've made some of my closest friends
over crossed blades. My Olympic fencing weapons of choice
are the foil and epée. Though nothing says fun like a good
rapier & dagger duel. My husband and I have spent some great
times with our fencing club buddies doing demos at museums,
schools, movie premiers, the Biltmore House, and Renaissance
faires.
I'm a member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of
America, Romance Writers of America, and the North Carolina
Writers' Network. I live in North Carolina with my always
patient and ever-encouraging husband, two cats, two
spoiled-rotten retired racing greyhounds, and a Jack Russell
terrier who rules us all.
