About

I’m a writer who tries to put everything I’ve got into everything I do which means I fall from exhaustion with a book on my face quite often. I tried to keep this part of me a secret, but was exposed quickly through the mirror’s invasion of my privacy every time I walk by (the traitor), and the tell-tale crease down the left side of my face until two hours after waking.

I have a perpetual extra bump on my middle finger from writing and have discovered that a thesaurus is not a dinosaur. (I looked it up.)

My OCDs are entering writing contests and folding sheets precisely into the ball they were meant to be.

  1. My sweet husband drove 50 miles to buy a Kindle device for me so I would stop falling asleep in bed and knocking my laptop on the floor. I love reading in bed and it was a problem–no more.

    • He’s a keeper. That is sooo sweet! My husband bought me a kindle for my birthday on Oct 10th this year. (Guess he got tired of the perpetual face-imprint.) Ha!
      Thank you for commenting Rebecca, you’re wonderful! Everyone, she’s a great reviewer and I highly recommend her. She reviews books AND promotes you. Great lady! :D

  2. Hi there! I don’t think I’ve ever fallen asleep with a book on my face, in my lap though :) Having a spot on your finger from writing is impressive! I haven’t written on anything more than a post-it in 10 years, when you have terrible hand-writing the computer is your friend :) Great site, see you!

    • Lol! The usually starts out on my lap and then through acrobatic sleep feats of ‘how’d-I’-do-that?’, I wind up with my face on it. ;) The new kindle is helping this issue though. ;)
      Great to see you too! Thank you so much for stopping by here! :D

  3. Maureen – just had thought (quite rare so pay attention pls) – does Khan have any tents leftover from military service? Perhaps also flak jacket and helmet? I strongly recommend that if he has, you set one up IN YOUR BEDROOM and go to bed attired for action (defensive). This way you can solve ALL YOUR PROBLEMS at once. Second thought, don’t do that – I don’t want to lose a second of your insomnia in the tworld … Cathyx

  4. Since you and I are now official members of the Sing in the Shower Movement (if not the instigators of that movement) I though I should pop over and get to know you better. I’m glad I did.
