I am a wife and mother of seven. I am from California, but I have lived in England for the past 11 years with my English husband. I own several POD stores on-line. The main one is at www.moondusters.com . I believe that a person can achieve anything that she sets her mind to, and I am proving that to my children by getting myself healthy and fit after years of letting laziness and food binges ruin my health. I have lost 145 1/2 pounds to reach a healthy weight. I've always loved writing and have decided to pursue my dream of writing a novel. I have also written several children's stories. Come and share in my family's adventures through my personal blog, my dieting adventures through my diet blog or my writing adventures through my writing blog. I even have a photography blog, a princess blog and a blog about the crazy dreams I have at night, along with several other blogs on a variety of topics. I also write health and fitness articles for magazines. I am a photographer and my husband and I work together on designs for our on-line shops. I have a BA in English and an AA in Child Development. Writing is my passion, and I am actively pursuing a paying career in freelance writing. I am active on both Twitter and Facebook and have been promoting through on-line media for a variety of my on-line business ventures. I also run a challenge in the month of March called the Chapter book Challenge (ChaBooCha) for anyone wanting to write a early years, middle grade or chapter book for children.Specialties: -writing articles on a variety of topics, particularly health and fitness-fiction writing-children's writing-blogging-photography
