Hi! My real name is Maranda Russell and I am a 29-year-old writer and foster parent. Besides the stuff I do here on WDC, I also have a picture book entitled "Ode to Icky" and several children's ebooks available for sale. I am in the process of getting a poetry collection for young adults published entitled "Not Afraid to be Real", which will hopefully be out within the next year. For more information on me and my books, please visit my website, www.marandarussell.com.
