Here's a little about me:

I was born aboard a U.S. Coast Guard cutter in international waters to Bahamian parents and raised on a small island in the Bahamas. I married an American sailor, and forty years and three children later, I’ve decided there is no such thing as normal. Normal is a word used to describe a non-existent status.
After my husband retired from the Navy, we moved to Pensacola, where we have lived for the last twenty years. During that time, I have worked part time for a major department store, a grocery store, and as a paper carrier before finally settling into writing full time and being surrogate “Mum” for young adults from Florida to California.
