Before we dive into books and writing, here are five completely random and very real things that make me who I am—from lakeside days to a goat with attitude.
Welcome, Friend 👋
Since this is my first post, I thought I’d skip the whole “Hi, I’m an author” intro (we’ll get there!) and instead just let you in on a few things about me—zero writing talk, I promise.
Here are 5 things to know about me that have absolutely nothing to do with books:
☀️ 1. Summer Is My Favorite Season—But I Like Being Cold
Contradictory? Completely. But I live for sunny lake days with the heat on my skin and cold water at my feet—then coming home, turning the A/C on way too high, and curling up with a fuzzy blanket.
🐐 2. My Goat Doesn’t Like Me
Yes, I have a goat. No, we’re not besties. She looks at me like I owe her money. I still try to win her over with snacks. (Spoiler: it’s not working.)
🌍 3. I Could Eat Swedish or Hawaiian Food Forever
Think: Swedish meatballs, potato sausage, or a good kladdkaka one day—purple sweet potaoes, fresh pineapple, or kalua pork the next. I crave both like comfort food, depending on the mood (and the weather).
🌊 4. The Lake Is My Happy Place
Give me still water, warm sun, a floatie, and a snack, and I’m in my element. It’s where I go to think, rest, or do absolutely nothing—which is sometimes the best thing.
❤️ 5. My Husband Is My Favorite Everything
He’s my best friend, my sounding board, my daily laugh, and the one person I’d pick over and over again. Cheesy? Maybe. True? 100%.
That’s Me—for Now
Thanks for reading! I’ll be back soon with a few posts that (maybe) have something to do with writing. But for now, tell me something completely random about you on my Facebook page—I’d genuinely love to know.
