Avid reader of just about everything. My two claims to fame are that I have a Mini Cooper S and I ran the newspaper at my university for two years. I have three BAs(Russian, English and Education) and a hell of a lot of student loans - due to the nature of Multiple Sclerosis and bi-polar disorder - we are hoping I get the loans forgiven. I am a Secondary English teacher. We share the house with two cats (Chekov, and The Grey mouser). Me? I write and read a lot. Race my Mini Cooper S and go to the IRL races. I collect gargoyles and dragonflies. I have around 50 gargoyles and a few dragonflies. My favorite colors are purple and green.
I am an English and Russian Language teacher as well as a published writer. I started writing stories in primary school and have ever since. I was on the newspaper staff in high school and years later I worked for the local glad rag for about three years. When I started writing the same stories year after year, I got bored. Being a teacher is always something new. Me? I am just Rowan. Always have been, always will be. My MS has shifted, as so many people who suffer from the disease know. I now have severe muscle spasms and I do not really like going out of the house. I cannot really drive my car at all. Maybe I will try tomorrow.
I have made some shelfari t-shirts and other stuff, like shoes and bags - here is the address. If you buy them, maybe I could have one. Check them out.
