Hi! Here's a little something about me...
Hi! Almost 16-years-ago, I wrote the first version of Colin
and Charlie’s story. I had just graduated from college, had a rockin’ job in
the tech field, but I was all alone in a new city. I missed my boyfriend (now
husband), my friends, and family. I wanted to tell a story of about a strong
female character. She didn’t go to college to get her MRS degree. Then, I
thought about all the obstacles that stand in coeds way with the most important
obstacle being boys. The first version of Colin and Charlie’s story barely
resembles “Falling Into Infinity.” Going back and reading it now, I realize
just how immature I was. Anyway, I wrote
their story again about eight years later before I had my first child. When, I
started their story for a final time, I blended the two versions. Now, being
the mother of a girl changed their story dramatically. I used a lot of Charlie
from the original version of the book in the college years section. I hope both
Colin and Charlie come across as immature kids (I was when I originally wrote
it). I also hope that you will see the growth of both characters later in the
book. They gain perspective with maturity. If you find yourself disliking
Charlie in the beginning imagine yourself at nineteen. I think that that there
is a little bit of everyone in her character. Cheers!
I'd love to hear from you!
