Author: Sidney
It can never be said that Sidney Bristol has had a ‘normal’ life. She is a recovering roller derby queen, former missionary, and tattoo addict. She grew up in a motor-home on the US highways (with an occasional jaunt into Canada and Mexico), traveling the rodeo circuit with her parents. Sidney has lived abroad in both Russia and Thailand, working with children and teenagers. She now lives in Texas where she splits her time between a job she loves, writing, reading and belly dancing.

Reading Binge
Dear Reader, Have you ever wanted to pick up a certain book, or genre and lose yourself? I knew that these few weeks between finishing one project and the beginning of NaNoWriMo was going to leave me at odds with myself. I generally read and write and edit and juggle myself. Without the writing or Read More
