I’m 45 years old. I’ve been a Kentucky gal all my life (except for 10 months in third grade when we moved briefly to Indiana, but that doesn’t count!) My only real claim to fame is being the wife of the Internet Monk. I’m a nurse by education, but am currently working in publications. (Go figure!) I like the job because it gives me a chance to pretend to be a writer. The only things I seem to be able to write are dramatic adaptations of biblical stories. I often write my own skits for our Creative Ministries team at school. Scott, my dog is diabetic. Judson, I play piano, and I also mess around a bit with lap dulcimer, hammerette, tin whistle, and fiddle…but I’m about to give up hope on the fiddle. (Who thought up the idea of a fretless stringed instrument, anyway?) One of my favorite pastimes is reading, but I never seem to have enough time for it. I enjoy everything from Charles Dickens to Sue Grafton. Oh, and I love lurking on the I.M. site! Eric, get Deanna on here so I won’t be the only female!
