 Author has written 4 stories for Walking Dead. Hi everyone. My name is Caren and I'm 48 years young. I run a dental office in NJ and live in NY with three wonderful boys (the oldest being my hubby of 20 years). My passions are reading, writing, scrapbooking and hiking. I also enjoy a healthy obsession with the incredible Andrew Lincoln and The Walking Dead, which is what brought me to this wonderful site. This is the first FF story I've ever written and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it! |
