My bio

I wrote a bio out yesterday. Thought I'd post it here.
I mean ... why not?

I come with the usual appurtenances -- dog, cat, husband, two kids, pair of goldfish. I write historical romance set in the Napoleonic War period.

Since I was a teenager, I've bought the same kind of shoe from L.L. Bean, and the same sorta trousers from Deva Lifewear. I bought my first cell phone a month or two back, but I haven't activated it yet. I just take it out and look at it and put it away again.

I make my own marmalade. I like to work in coffeeshops. I lived outside the United States for 20 years, in different parts of the world. I have great difficulty spelling ... all the words look right to me. I know probably 10,000 poems by heart. I don't get as much writing done as I should but the kitchen still isn't clean either. I use power tools and drive a Volvo. My favorite constellation is Orion. My favorite flower is lily-of-the-valley.

I guess that's most of what's important about me.

No one has ever called me Snookums, but it could happen any minute, so I am prepared.
