My name is Alice and I have been happily married to Rich for over 13 years. We are the proud parents of three children: Jared (6), Klára (3), and Will (1). We live in southwestern West Virginia where I am a full-time stay-at-home-mom and Rich is a full time critical care nurse. In the past, I have had poetry published in Marshall University's literary magazine, Et Cetera, stories printed in several local newspapers, and I enjoyed a year-long column in my hometown paper The Jackson Herald. Today, my writing centers mostly around the daily antics of my children. However, I do sometimes enjoy sharing my views on Christianity, conservatism, and current events. I am very much pro-life and try to promote and practice personal responsiblity in all realms of life.
