About Me: 

I'm a thirty-ish Utah-born girl living in Northern California and working hard at my three dream jobs: book editor, writer, and mother (to a son born in December 2008). I've been writing at my personal blog, www.agirlandaboy.com/journal, since 2003; at Work It, Mom, a community for working mothers, since 2008; and at Style Lush, a design blog, since its inception in 2009. You can find me on Twitter way too much at @agirlandaboy.

 

Something that might surprise you about me: I REALLY wanted to be a cheerleader in high school, but I never tried out because it would have interfered with my work on the literary magazine.
