I am a freelance writer who draws experience from what I can only describe as a rich and fulfilling -- but simple -- life. I'm happily married to Curtis and have a stepdaughter, two sons, and two ridiculously spoiled Labradors. Writing, researching and learning are my passions, and I feel very blessed to be able to do what I love most. Reach me at ritatempleton@gmail.com.
