Hi! I am an introvert who enjoys a social event every now and then, but prefers to stay at home reading. I am hard-of-hearing and have hearing aids but prefer not to wear them. I use American Sign Language with my kids and friends. I can read French and some Spanish and am trying to learn Welsh. I love to read (anything but non-fiction) and make book reviews in ASL. I write YA and NA fantasy with a little romance that includes D/HoH characters. I want to publish my books and am editing my first WIP. My other hobbies include: cross-stitching, painting, hiking and mountain biking with family.
