Date: Tue, 10 Mar 1998 14:33:06 -0800 From: nora mulligan Subject: FILLER: BIO Just wanted to introduce myself after a week or so of lurking. My name is Nora Mulligan, I'm 39 years old, live in Peekskill, New York (once memorably described by the New York Times as "a shabby river town") with my husband, 9 year old daughter, and two cats. I can't decide, sometimes, which of the above is more trouble - the husband, daughter, or the cats. I've been writing all my life, and have even gotten a couple of things published. After eleven miserable years as a lawyer (don't get me started), I finally decided to take my writing seriously, and since then I have been writing, mostly novels. None of them is published yet, but I have one that I'm sending out to agents and another one is getting ready for the submission process (when I get up the nerve and thicken my skin a bit). I'm looking forward to joining in the fun here, but I thought it would be bad manners to critique and submit without at least telling you a little about myself. Nora
