Our Writers

….ARE AWESOME.

Christianne Sanchez: Christianne has always loved to write. She has completed a novel, which has yet to be edited before she attempts to publish it. After several years working in marketing, Christianne lost her mind and went to law school. She is currently in Houston, Texas, awaiting bar exam results, beginning her law career, editing her novel and writing for her blog at gorgeousandsassy.com.

Robin Grosland: Robin writes because there’s too much going on in her head and writing is the only way to get her brain to shut up for a few minutes. Married for 20 years with five kids, she’s always striving to find just a little bit of sanity. Her moods fluctuate more than the stock market so you never know what you’ll find at her blog, The Mess That Is My Life.

Meg Stivison: After speaking almost toneless Mandarin for two years in China, Meg Stivison is currently based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Her life goal is to get lost on public transit in every major city in the world. Meg blogs at SimpsonsParadox.com.

Lisa Hoover: Lisa Hoover is a professional freelance writer and single mother to three boys. When she’s not busy working, homeschooling her kids, or feeding her technology, football, and Blue Man Group obsessions, she’s usually writing something for her personal blog, LisaHoover.com.

Jennifer McUne: Jenn drinks too much vodka and coffee but never together, has an affinity for The O.C. television series and would rather lie on her lounge chair by the pool than actually work. She strives to provide a realistic look at her escapades with infertility and life on the other side at The Duchess all while waiting tables at night, you know so she doesn’t start to think soap opera stars are her real friends.

Darren Nethington: Darren lives in a small town in Northern California with his beautiful wife. He has 3 daughters, Alexis (21), Savanna (15), and Madison (14). He’s been working for the U.S. Postal Service for 23 years, and before that, was in the Air Force for 4 years.

Ridgely Johnson: A crazy southern gal, Ridgely lives in South Carolina with LT, her 25-year veteran law enforcement husband. She is passionate about writing, her personal blog, Savor the Ride , Turbo Kick, the Internet Marketing Group The Third Tribe, quilting and primitive american folk art. She loves Nike shox, Talbot’s, Vera Bradley and Victoria’s Secret. Her favorite color is pink.

Texan Mama: Gretchen, a.k.a. Texan Mama, spends her days finding rogue singleton socks and tending to the dozen feet that wear those socks. She resides in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex with her husband, 5 children, and one dog (who doesn’t wear socks). In her spare time, she blogs at Who Put Me In Charge Of These People???

Jenny T.: Jenny is a single mom to four fabulous kids who keep her both busy and wary at all times. In her spare time she enjoys spooning with her dog and watching trash t.v. You can learn more about her thrilling life by checking out her blog, Happy Hausfrau.

Caitlin White: Caitlin is a wife, mommy, and stepmom. She loves photography and knitting, watches The Discovery Channel every day, and has a weird fascination with sharks. She writes about mommy life and marriage (and sometimes sharks) at Pacifier In My Pocket.

Laurie Fabrizio: Laurie is a humorist/writer, wife of twenty-seven years, and the mother of two daughters and three dogs. When she is not trying to keep her husband on the ground, you can find her on her personal blogs, “Married to Middle–Aged Maverick” and “Ruff Housen”:The Real Housedogs of Minneapolis.

Laurie LaGrone: Laurie has more creativity in her WHOLE BODY than most people have in their little fingers. Wait, that’s not right. Plus, it’s a lie. *sigh* If Laurie ever gets her head out she wants to write cereal box copy because that’s what everybody’s reading. Oh, and also? She owns chickens and writes Fooleryland.

Rima Tessman: Rima lives in Cleveland, Ohio with her husband and two young children. She speaks English, Lithuanian, and a smidgeon of French. Her talents include, but are not limited to, Lithuanian folk singing, wine sampling, and making up fake newspaper headlines. One time, at Lithuanian camp, she did a fake Miami Vice style hood rollover on her friend’s moving car. She would like nothing more in life than to get a chuckle out of you. You can read more of her writing at Rima Rama.

Sheryl Stein: Sheryl is a music-obsessed mom/writer/web strategy-type who lists among her proudest moments the day my kids sang with X. She has been blogging at wrekehavoc.com about music, politics, parenthood, and basically anything else that crosses her path since 2002. and no, her caps lock key is not broken.

Kate Geiselman: Kate is determined to prove that bitch at her husband’s office party wrong. No, you drunken hosebag, it is *not* true that those who can’t, teach; it’s just that those who are busy reading other people’s writing have a bit of trouble finding time for their own. She teaches at a community college, and no, she is not looking for a “real” teaching job, since teaching community college is about as real as it gets. She lives in Dayton with her ridiculously smart husband, perfect children, and gender-confused schnauzer. Her blog, Notes from Professor X, is coming soon. Really.

Deb Anderson: Deb lives in San Diego with her husband and two little girls. She is a freelance writer and editor who is busy penning her first novel, a young adult supernatural thriller. Or maybe not “busy,” as much as “working to overcome creativity blocks and self-doubt to actually complete the manuscript that has been in progress since 2001.” Also, Deb is wordy. The place for all her words is at sandiegomomma.com.
