Based on the Gulf Coast of the USA, I'm married and have two children and two dogs. After over 17 years as a technical writer for a couple of medical billing software companies, I took a career break to help in respite care for my grandmother in hospice and to raise my children. A brief stint at a call center was sufficient to convince me that a career shift was in order, so I went back to school via Southern New Hampshire University's online program. I have recently published two journals available on Amazon.com, Word Crimes and The Pen is Mightier.
