I was born in San Antonio, Texas, and am a southern girl through and through. I grew up listening to my father, Paul Shannon, tell stories to me and my sister. He inspired in me a love for storytelling and writing. I am a published author of 6 Science Fiction/Fantasy novels, but am always trying to hone my skills.
I live on a farm and love animals and gardening. I have a black belt in Taekwondo. I was a High School Chemistry teacher, but am now a District Science Instructional Coach. I'm not sure all that the job involves as it's ever morphing. I do know, I'm not in the classroom anymore, and that I work with adults more often than children. Hmmm....working on liking that. Anyway, good to be back on this site. |

Okay, I need some more help: I keep getting remarks about the quotation marks. I've researched it, and I'm doing what is required, but people say they are distracted by all the marks. Suggestions???

|
| nor84: I sent you a PM. Yes, you do have a problem in that both double quotes and single quotes are being used ("') next to one another, as shown, and double quotes seem to be used for narrative passages, not just for dialogue.

I am Cat: I'd like to let the fans of Rhonda (davisr) know that she's been in an accident on the farm. She will eventually be ok, but it involved (as often happens in Texas) a mama cow, a calf, a large wooden slat of wood, metal bars, human flesh and bone, and a margin of error.
As can often happen in the world of farms... The cow won, and Rhonda's jaw and head LOST. :(
She has a severe concussion, along with a broken jaw (in two places) and will be off ALL electronics, including computers, TV, phones, email... everything for an entire week.
I wanted to check her PM box and send out announcements, but it has come to my attention that in so doing, I would be unable to review her work from my own computer...
and so, I'd posting in several places so that her fans will know that she is not ignoring them, she is seriously injured.
Please show support and continue to review her work, we all need to stick together at times like this.
She is a wonderful writer, and an amazing human being. IF you'd like to leave her a message, you may do so...
Thank you,
Cat
