I'm just a Canadian girl living in California with my husband, three step-children, and my crazy awesome Russian Blue cat, Miko.

I was everything BUT a Christian until 2002.

By that I mean, when I bothered to think about God at all, I dabbled in (translation: I religion-shopped trying to find something that suited my personality) everything from New Age (too Shirley MacLaine), to Buddhism (get up at what time?), to Hare Krishna (no meat? And peach? Really? REALLY?).

Then I could no longer ignore that nagging hole in my heart and I propelled myself into months of honest searching until I finally got a clue and found my home in Jesus.

I've been attending Family Community Church in San Jose, CA ever since.

I work as a Senior Game Designer ("War Witch") on an online MMORPG called "City of Heroes". I get to play at my job and I have had the wonderful opportunity to do some traveling and meet some really incredible people over the years.

My life has had its share of PUH-LENTY ups and downs, but even though there's been a few curve balls of the small planetoid nature, it's been a great ride so far. So I just hang on to God's coat tails and see where He takes me.

I published a chick-lit novel called "Real Life" that I'm actually not nervous to show either my mother OR my grandmother and I'm currently working on another one about a girl who inadvertently 'helps' an angel and the crazy ride that follows.

Oh, and I'm left-handed. Oh! And I like ice cream.
