Kara

Nobody's really here to read about me - it's all about the fur babies!
So, in a nutshell:
I'm Kara, a thoroughly Texas girl, which does NOT mean I rode a horse to school or grew up on a farm.
I did, however, grow up in a town with a deep love for high school football. Anyone heard of Friday Night Lights the book, movie or TV show? They're all based on one of the high schools in my hometown - with varying degrees of accuracy. Yes, many people in the town are obsessed with Mojo (Permian High School) and it's not unheard of for season tickets to be specifically mentioned (and fought over) in the will of a dearly departed fan.
Moving on, I'm now in my mid-twenties (wow) and will celebrate a third wedding anniversary with my husband, Alan, in May. We began dating my senior year of high school, kept dating when I went to college (he's 10 months younger) and got married after I graduated. He graduated the next year, was accepted to medical school, and is now in his second year. Alan loves Scrubs and insists he'll work in a place just like the show.
The only children in our home have four legs, and it's going to stay that way for at least a little while longer.
An author since literally before I could write, my parents still have notebooks full of stories (incomprehensible scribbles) I "wrote" before I knew the alphabet. I began reporting for the local newspaper in high school and returned during summers for internships.
I've crossed over to the dark side (advertising) at my current newspaper, but I'm still a news junkie. Someday, maybe when I'm a stay-at-home mom with actual human rugrats, I'll write a book.
And it will probably be about my dogs.
