I'm a professional humorist/children's writer, mother, friend, and cat owner- I write observational and situational humor most of the time, but actually there is no telling what I might turn out. I'm writing my first novel for adults, and I have a few children's book manuscripts traveling through slush piles. My logo above is a mother bluebird in her empty nest. Although, I told Simon (my cat) that the bluebird is our new pet. (Just to make him crazy mad.)

A Nice Place In The Sun posts include: humorous life stories, memories, and childrens book reviews. (some author requested) Blog motto: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson
