Hi! Not a veteran, but the proud wife of USAF vet, TSgt Wm Kemp Jr. Happy to have "served" beside him all the military years. And thankful for the small, but adequate commissary in Lawrence--Harrison Village.

How did you hear about Smaller Indiana?
Friend
What is your greatest strength?
My empathy. The ability to see all facets of an issue is an asset to my creativity, especially my writing. It helps me to create full dimensional charaters in my works of fiction.
What are you working on?
Currently I'm working on the third volume of my historical fiction series, The House of Pendragon. It has been my life's passion to write my own version of the King arthur legends--it began when I was a teen. The actuall writing began much later, in 1992. So far, I have two volumes complete and published. I envision the entire series at about 5 volumes.

I'm really proud of two scenes in particular. The first was brought to me by the NaNo-torious Traveling Shovel of Death ( A NaNo tradition of sorts!), and will come early in the flashback portion o… Continue

I'm not much of a blogger. My work is in fiction. So here's a short excerpt from my first novel.

Excerpt from Chapter 5


"What did you dream of, Lin?"

That was our ritual every morning, trading dreams. Every morning that I could remember. Whatever my brother's dream had been, I would carry it through the dreariness of the dozens of mindless chores I would have to do. Dafydd's dre… Continue
