One-Line Bio

Can an Ex-San Franciscan raised by parents who claim to never have been hippies - yet took her to live on a nude beach in Greece - find happiness in the San Fernando Valley? Tune in to find out.

Biography

When not writing on this site about life in the San Fernando Valley and beyond, I write other stuff. Presently I'm compiling short stories of my nomadic-hippie childhood and other odd adventures of growing up around the world and in California in my forthcoming book titled "Craving Normal."

My username Aprilbaby comes from lack of creativity (I was once a baby born in April), when choosing my username at another site - then I carried it over here for consistency. Now I'm sort of stuck with it. And no, this isn't a porn site.

Interests

I write and run a business with my audio genius/musician husband. we live in the often maligned San Fernando valley.
