Newbie - what is up with that term? I thought it was so corny when I saw it on the Sims, who knows how many years ago...
Anyway, my real name is Rebekah. I'm 27, mom of three kids, one hubby and one brother-in-law. (and I'd much rather just mother my kids! :P ) I work full time from home calling insurance companies to verify coverage for a podiatry clinic on the other side of the country. Which means a lot of my day is spent staring at my computer screen listening to elevator music... And I also sell candles, so if you need any, let me know! :) http://www.partylite.biz/sites/RebekahT/

How did I find this site? My sister called me up one day gushing about this writing site she had found that had a contest going on and she had gotten a chapter writeen and submitted, and it was so cool because even though the story was kinda gruesome and had characters that swore sometimes, she had found ways to stay in character, and write a pretty good chapter...
(excuse the run on there... she was a bit excited...)
So, when she sent me the link to the site, I had to check it out. And found she did a pretty smash up job, 'cause the chapter she wrote won the round! Congrats Aggeloi! (had to get the proud big sis out of my system)
So then the story was buzzing in my head, and as I'm the kind of person who can't stand to see something unresolved, I had to think up a logical last chapter... And got bit by the writer bug... And found some really awesome pieces of work that kept me entertained while waiting to hear how much of the patient's $5000 deductible had been met...

And now I'm hopelessly addicted to this site, and am so enjoying everyone's work!

Oh, and favorite author is Ted Dekker - I read just about anything good I can get my hands on, but he is my hands down favorite.

You seem like such a vibrant and upbeat person. I love your euphemisms!! I think you will be a great addition to the mash, and look forward to reading your chaps.!

LOL - yeah, that description of what I said is pretty accurate, especially the run-on part :-) Well, sis, glad you're on the site!

okay Shadinah now i get why my chapter with the two sisters freaked you out a bit, you have a sister and she's even on this site! Well, you know the best way to protect the sisters in the story would be to go ahead and write Chapter 3 and make sure you clear her of the murder!
