I'm a homeschooling mom, teacher, and writer with three kids who were homeschooled through high school. My two daughters both work in Atlanta, GA in the film industry now, and my son is still in school working on two degrees, music and computer science. 

I live with my husband in a log house in the middle of the woods in Georgia surrounded by flint-lock rifles, brain-tanned hides, wild turkey, and deer that eat my daylilies. Besides writing, I teach world history and English at a Christian school. As you can tell, this site reflects these long term interests.

For friends and family or anyone who's interested:

My kids websites--

• Rebecca's film blog: "My Journey Through the AFI Top 100 Films"
• Banging On Pianos-- poetry and such by Hetty
• Robert Lee's Blog on many things
  His site has live classical music performances as well as a kind of intro. to classical music that might be of interest to other homeschooling kids. He's in the process of getting a double major in music at GSU (piano performance) and computer science at Ga.Tech (artificial intelligence) and he blogs on a wide range of topics from computers to theology.
• Hetty's Blue Orchid Music Video (won Funniest Bobcat Video at GCSU), filmed with her cousins in FL.
