What I Do for a Living: I'm a freelance writer/blogger at a variety of publications.

The Furry Members of My Household Are: Bubba Lee Kinsey, my handsome gray tabby; Phoenix, my pretty calico girl; and Salvador, my beautiful, hyperactive kitten.
My Favorite Things to Write About Are: Cats, obviously. Also anyone who feels passionately about what he or she grows, makes, cooks, plays, builds, etc.
