I'm the little supposedly 'smart' girl (we're talking national merit scholarship and a Lockheed Martin internship at NASA here...) who kind of never actually finished college (not my fault- there was some car wreck and related health problems, if you must know) and now lives on a ranch in Texas where she writes, living with her dad, step-mother, step-sister, a green-cheeked conure(parrot), 13 mini-donkeys,4 mini-horses (don't you dare call them ponies!) and 3 dogs (you might call 1 mini, but that white one's pretty big).
