Hi Folks,
I live in the western suburbs of Chicago with my photographer husband and our feathered, furred, and scaly companions. I write mostly non-fiction, but occasionally branch out into different areas. My special interests are history and ornithology (especially parrots) but I will chase after whatever catches my fancy. I love to research, and find that is my favorite part of the writing experience. Don't be surprised if my book list covers a rather odd and disjointed selection of subjects. It simply reflects my very short attention span! Stay tuned to see what's next.... gayle
