mikenbel: I have always wanted to write. I enjoy writing and sharing. In college I would edit (and sometimes write in their entirety) term papers and resumes. I would always write my best when I did not have a chance to go back to it several times -- just right off the cuff. I have a bachelor's in general French...a master's in Linguistics...and on the side I speak German.
I am happily married to my childhood sweetheart - that is a story in and of itself. Together we have 9 children. I came into the marriage with 3...he came in with 4...and together we had twins who are now 3 years old. In addition - we have 4 horses and own an antique store. I love antiques...languages...people...my kids...fun. If it ain't fun folks...it ain't worth doing.
    Selina Stambi: Welcome to Fanstory, mikenbel. Nine children - wow! How do you ever find the time to write? I have twins - that's all - and they kept me on my toes all day long! Look forward to reading your work.
    Your favourite quote is one of mine too. Another is 'Death and life are in the power of the tongue' Proverbs 18.
