| Bio: | I'm a recent transplant to the Hotlanta area having lived in quite a few other places over the years including (but not limited to) Pensacola FL, Alexandria VA, Rockville MD, Denver CO and San Diego CA (for five months longer than I would have preferred).
I'm very happily married to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ultrageek who is currently working for a large gubbermint contractor at the CDC here in Atlanta. As for working, currently I'm not. Though I am looking at options for returning to school. At the age of (fourty-mumblety-mumble), I have finally decided what I want to be when I grow up!! After working on a series of historical novels since 1993, it finally became apparent to me that it was the researching of the history around the story rather than the crafting the story itself that gave me the greatest amount of satisfaction. So I am now looking into returning to school to become a putting into historical context what the excavators on the team unearth. |
