by L. U. Ann
She tries to spend a little time each day writing but domestic chores around the house usually take precedence. She would much rather hide them from her husband. She tends to her loving four-legged friends, who at times become much too demanding when she locks herself in the office. This often results in MORE domestic work; cleaning up after their deviant behavior.
At night, you’ll find her begging the kids to go to bed so she can catch up on the latest book before her sister can. Yes, she is an avid reader who escapes her chaotic but wonderful home to the feisty depths of romance land in search of her newest book boyfriend. Shh, don’t tell her husband!
She is an artist by the grace of God. She worked as a set designer for six years, helping establish a local children's theatre where she was the scenery artist, set, and prop designer. Before that you would find her covered in paint so engrossed in painting a mural, time didn't exist. Graphic design is her guilty pleasure.

Baby Lane:
Mommy calls me Little Miss Sunshine.
She says I put a smile on everyone's face.
Mommy is the most beautiful Mommy in the whole wide world. She's nice and plays with me a lot.
But, sometimes she's sad. I don't know why.
Doctor's make her cry. I don't like it when Mommy cries. I like doctors. They are really nice and give me lots of stickers and lollipops. I always give Mommy a hug when she's sad and tell her I love her. That usually makes her smile big, and then I giggle before giving her smooches.
Lacey Edwards:
Baby Lane believes the world is beautiful. She may be twelve-years- old, but she has overcome so many challenges with a smile on her face. What is it like to live in a world where so many things challenge to hold you back? How much can a child take before succumbing to the negatives found in those around us?
My daughter has a chromosome abnormality. Not one doctor can find another patient with the same mutation. I pray everyday Baby Lane will grow up to be treated like everyone else.
Only…
Her kind heart is special, and her presence teaches others how to make their heart special and kind, too.
But, what happens when people lack the compassion and empathy to accept the differences of others? Can Baby Lane's sweet smile bring sunshine into their heart where they can learn tolerance? Will Baby Lane lose part of her innocence when the uglies of the world sink their talons into her good heart?
