I haven't been able to figure out how to upload my stories here, so for now please check out my fanfics at

I may start posting some of my original work there as well. I haven't decided yet.

Hopefully, someday they'll be here as well.

And just so you know who I am: I'm a 45-year-old New Englander living in the Washington, DC suburbs. I keep trying to escape back north, but it hasn't happened yet. I have been many things: editor, writer, grad student (that phase went on way too long), La Leche League leader, and preschool teacher. Now I'm a substitute math and social studies teacher, working mostly with middle schoolers. I especially love teaching math, but I also love writing. Unfortunately, things like my kids, my dog, and my running (my latest addiction) get in the way of my writing. Meanwhile, I plug away at it when I can. I'm hoping to be at it more now that my son's bar mitzvah, a temporary full-time job, and my first 10K race are but pleasant memories.

Oh, and my name. The "u" is pronounced as "oo" like in foot or the u in put. Umm means mother in Arabic, so UmmSam just means that I'm Sam's mom, no matter how much he tries to ignore that fact.

Left Blank by LeiaB reviews
What happens when Stephanie goes shopping for a Christmas gift for Ranger? A BABE story - started off as a short but soon developed into something longer. Mostly fluff, but a little bit of angst and occasional bad language.
