Celebrating an Author who is a Veteran

I've known Ryleigh Rhodes for a few years now and though we've yet to meet in person, I feel like I know her and call her my friend.  You see we have a few things in common, though our age difference is large.

Ryleigh is a US Marine and my son, Zach, is a Marine.  Ryleigh is a mom, a daughter, a student and an author; we share those things.  Our love of the US Military is our largest bond.  So, I welcome Ryleigh back to Get Lost in a Story and hope you'll enjoy meeting her too. And, thank you for your service Ryleigh.

When I was younger, like elementary school age, during the summer before the chores were time consuming. My dog and I would explore the ranch. I could ride my bike around the ranch and go fishing whenever I wanted. Pretty sweet deal.

The most daring thing you’ve ever done… Care to share?

A little bit about Ryleigh:

Ryleigh grew up on a cattle ranch in Texas and enlisted in the military after high school. After traveling the world she came back stateside and started a new chapter in her life. When she isn't crafting with words she can often be found outdoors with her daughter or be found reading a good book and eating dark chocolate.
