"It's nobody's business that you have to learn to write. Let them think you were born that way." --Ernest Hemingway

• Personality-wise, I'm an oddball: an INTJ, by far the rarest of the 16 Myers-Briggs personality categories. What that means for you is that I'm good at brainstorming and thinking up big ideas, as well as tackling tedious, detail-oriented tasks. I believe in speaking frankly and definitely am not a drama queen.
• I was made a member of St. Silouan Antiochian Orthodox Church in College Station in 2018. A lapsed Presbyterian, I discovered Orthodoxy through Fr. Stephen Freeman's blog, Glory to God for All Things.
• My husband of 21 years, Michael Kellett, is a photographer who (among other things) recently restored a 1955 Chevrolet Nomad and now is hard at work on a 1956 Oldsmobile that sat in a field outside Kerrville, Texas, for more than 40 years. 
• When we're not working, we're doting on our four rescued kitties or traveling, preferably on Michael's motorcycle in the Hill Country or Big Bend regions of Texas, or the mountains of Arkansas.
