I've spent more time that I should the last few days getting back into the swing of being an author and promoting books.

A long time artist and writer, I grew up in suburban Chicagoland, then moved to a rural town in Illinois where I worked, raised a family and bred all types of animals from rabbits and chickens to sheep, goats and horses on a small farm.
