The tea
It must be evident by now that I like to write; I suppose you didn’t come here for more of that, but I’ll tell you anyway. I spent most of my life wanting to write, but occupied with other things; things that seemed achievable when writing was out of reach. In 2020 I survived a coma after doctors told my husband to pull the plug because if I did manage to wake, I would be nothing more than a vegetable. After five days of playing at sleeping beauty, I woke up and began flipping people off. When the tube was pulled from my throat, I started calling everyone motherfuckers (If you are offended by swearing, there is a decent chance you’ll be offended by my book – some of the characters have potty mouths). Having survived my death date, I feel as if I am now living in the gravy – that extra that maybe wasn’t necessary but makes things SO much better, that extra that you are free to do with whatever you want, and I finally gave myself the permission I needed to pursue my dream.
In addition to pursuing dreams, I am lucky enough to be a wife to Jason, and mother to Andi, Olivia, Poppy, and Trixie. Andi and Olivia are living the life of oppressed teenagers, which leaves me SO thankful for Poppy and Trixie, who are excited to see me when everyone else hates me.
