About Me

So apparently, the God’s of ‘Whom-everdom’ say that an About the Author section should be written in third person. Let’s review; you are visiting my blog, it’s written by me, maintained by me, and yet I’m supposed to pretend to you that some unknown mysterious third person (who likes me A LOT) wrote this? Yeah right.

 

The Stats:

• I’m Tammy Elizabeth Antoinette Crosby. Learn to spell that when you’re six. I’ve yet to find any government form it fits onto.
• I’m 38, but if I’m accused of this fact openly I will deny it extensively.
• I’ve been married since 1994 (17yrs for you non math geeks). No one is more shocked than me.
• Son, age 4 going on 40.  He has successfully turned my hair from 40% grey to 80% and I can hardly wait to hit full silver in few more short years.
• I have a Brittany Spaniel named Ginger and a black and white Tuxedo cat called Chester. The cat is very old now, and if you knew my hubby at all, you’d appreciate the age of that cat more than you do.

The Background:

• Born and raised in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada.  
• I had the good forture to grow up in inconsistently mixed families. One older full brother, one younger half brother, two older stepbrothers, and an unofficially adopted sister. She took pity on me and adopted me to be her sister. Lucky for me she has a kind heart.
• When I was not at home, I was at my aunt and uncle’s farm living the dream of young girls everywhere spending my days surrounded by horses. I adopted their son as my younger brother as the term ‘cousin’ didn’t seem quite fitting enough.
• I had big dreams of being a Veterinarian, ended up anything and everything but. I went from being a travelling groom, to janitor, quality document analyst, payroll coordinator, commercial engineering co-ordinator, temporary travelling school secretary, to my current role as an admin asst. The list is endless and it ain’t over yet but wherever it ends, I hope it ends with ‘full time writer’.

The Passions:

• I’ve been writing for two years now and am constantly learning as I go. Grammar will never be my friend and comma’s will always allude/elude me and forever be the bane of my existence. Lucky for me I have smart friends.
• I love playing ice hockey. I play for fun once a week pretty much year round. I’m mediocre at best but an addict for life. Nothing gets rid of the frustration of a bad day quite like smashing people into boards. And they don’t even take it personally! On the flip, more often than not it does tend to go the other way round.
• I love motorcycling of any kind. Street, dirt, or whatever, it’s all good.
• Love to read, make jewellery, hike, fish, and get pedicures.

Blah blah bored yet?   I’ll stop talking now that I’m sure I’ve overwhelmed you with all your new found love for me.     

Thanks for stopping by, let’s do it again sometime.
