Life I moved from Poolesville to New Hampshire after our Junior year and couldn't wait to leave. . .six years later, I finally did. I met my husband Joey in Ocean City, and we got married in Las Vegas. We live on 3 acres of land in Carroll County, Maryland with our kids, Tanner (my stepson) who is 14, and our daughter Chloe, 7. I AM NOW A PUBLISHED AUTHOR!!! My first book, a mainstream fiction w/ romantic elements titled, GROWING UP LITTLE, was released in 2006 by Whiskey Creek Press. The book was the #3 BESTSELLER at the publishing company in June 2006. Growing Up Little takes place in Baltimore, MD, during the long-haired, hairspray dominated decade of the 1980's!
