Who Am I? Biddy Bytes’ Author and Disclaimer

 

Husband and I live in RI and Asheville, NC.brighter colleen kelly mellor pic

But my Writing World’s complex, since I draw on my life experience as Divorced Woman (once), Widow (twice,) Current Wife, Single Parent, Abuse and Breast Cancer Survivor, MS Patient, Bi-State Resident. As such, I travel different worlds.

As to street creds, I’m a retired 30-year teacher and 8-year realtor who now freelance writes.  My works have appeared in the Wall St. Journal, NY Times and CNN-acclaimed medical blog, kevinMD.com, as well as the Providence Journal.

My husband’s a long-haul trucker of 30 years’ experience who drove the big rigs.  We’ve just released Grandpa and the Truck (www.grandpaandthetruck.com), Books 1 and 2, hailed “Cool Gifts for Kids” by the biggest international trucker’s association—OOIDA. Women In Trucking (WIT) like them, too.

I began this blog, 3 years ago, in July, following my husband’s “death experience” after he was hit, on a mountain road, outside Asheville, by a 12-year-old girl, driving her uncle’s truck (don’t worry–he survived!) I called it “Biddy Bytes:  Encouragement in a Difficult World.” It’s now “Biddy Bytes: Where Am I?” and documents my world as a Bi-State Resident/Traveler to NC and RI.

As you can see (by the archives), I’m in my 4th. year of writing these posts.

Stay tuned–It’s going to get exciting…..
