On a more serious note, I'm a social worker, poet and a part-time Picture Book & Young Adult writer. I love reading ancient religious manuscripts and studying ancient empires along with archaeology/anthropology, which really turns me on and makes me giggle like a school girl. Does the word GEEK come to mind about now?? And yes I do wear glasses, matter of fact- I like them even.
