About Penelope Whitney
If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
I grew up in a small redneck town always aching to leave, and once I could I haven't stopped moving. The impulse has taken me to farflung spots (partial list: Detroit, Auckland, Berlin, Montana, NYC) , where I wonder, 'how did I get here?' Now that I'm in Frisco, I'm trying to find contentment without fleeing. So far, it's been a success.
Besides SMITH, I read stories at:
