Newby Intro
I've just recently joined this happy band! I'm a mom of four living in central FL. I've written my entire life (isn't that what we all say?), although for the past fifteen years or so I've confined it mostly to parenting info/advice and homeschooling articles and curriculum.

Last year I wrote my first novel, and I am more than halfway through the second book in a proposed series of four. Getting through the second has greater challenges, especially since I'm shopping my first book for agents while writing book 2.

I also head up a writing and critique group online, which is enormously satisfying.

Looking forward to meeting even more writers here!
