Posted on September 6, 2010February 23, 2020 by Whitney

As I blogged last week, I obsess over boots. I have way too many pairs of boots (someday I will take pictures to share).

Whitney Drake

I am a writer, artist, mother, and geek. I write about what catches my attention- whether it's fandom, politics, hockey, life as a Latina, or life with Crohns disease. Sometimes I write about marriage and kids, but that's not very often these days.
