Loni Townsend
Wife. Mother. Writer. Ninja. Squirrel.

By day, she writes code. By predawn darkness, she writes fantasies. All other times, she writes in her head.

People call her peculiar with a twisted sense of fashion, but don't let those understatements fool you. Her behavior is perfectly normal for a squirrel disguised as a human. That's part of being an epic ninja—-blending in.

She makes her home in Idaho with her sadistically clever—-yet often thwarted-—husband, two frighteningly brilliant children, and a hoard of furry potatoes.

Falling Behind #IWSG

I missed last month. In fact, I almost missed this month’s Insecure Writer’s Support Group too. Life seems to be non-stop lately, with birthdays and school and juggling outings with dog training. I haven’t had a down weekend in a while, and I’m tired.

The dog is huge (75lbs now at 7mos old). We got a DNA test to find out what to expect, and I had to blink at the results. Apparently, I have a husky.
