I've lived in Maine for almost 30 years, almost as long as I've been married to the geek. I love Maine, really I do, even if I do hate it. Maine has given me so much to complain, er, write about. The ME in HUMOR ME is the two letter abbreviation for my adopted state. The HUMOR is what I use to survive the brutal winters, sticky mud seasons, the perils of hunting season and the vampiric Black Fly seasons. As I did in my first book, I mostly write about family and homeschooling in this book and continue to try to be a writer who uses humor in a positive way even when the wheels fall off almost every wagon I climb aboard. Like Erma Bombeck, I mention a few times that my family is driving me crazy. But I go on to say that I know that I drive them crazy too. I don't mind telling my readers that I love my family and friends and think they're awesome. I'm not big on f-bombs in my writing or real life unless I drop something really heavy on an appendage. In my book, that's what f-bombs are for. Most of the writing in my first three books came from the years that we unschooled. A few people have asked me if I'll still write now that both of my kids are in college and mostly out of the house. (One wonders if they've forgotten that I've also had Geekdaddy to write about for 36 years. He hasn't moved out. Yet.) Yes, I'll still write, because I'm a writer. I'm also as curious as a barnful of cats. From plotting polecats to why you shouldn't pet an armadillo without gloves on, there are so many eclectic subjects that attract my interest. My kids are launched, but my writing spark isn't quenched, and I'm not ready to sink into geezerdom. Crow's Feet and Magpie Mind, that's me. Coincidentally, that's the name of the book I'm working on now.
