Teresa lives with her cats Dickens and Lady Gaga in Ontario, Canada. She is a grandmother and a student of life with a passion for cooking. Although retired, she’s annoyed with her overwhelming collection of books and lack of time to read them. Her daily life consists of writing, reading, and blogging.

To your list of common activities (reading, writing, blogging), you must add ‘traveling’.

Good idea, Jacqui. It would never have occurred to me. I guess I don’t think of myself as a traveler though I DO have the bug now.
I agree with you about characters taking over the story. Fun. Fun. Fun. 😀 ❤
