Profile Information

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s): I'm a dressage rider, mother of two boys, and novelist.

I spent much of my childhood wishing I'd turn into Lassie or Black Beauty. When those things didn't happen, I pretended to be Lassie or Black Beauty. It didn't do much for my social life.

Feel free to stop by my blog www.waitsatthewindow.blogspot.com. In it, I and guest experts discuss the quirks and twitches that make up our lives: anxiety, psychological conditions, and day-to-day life.

Country: Canada

Website:: http://www.tishcohen.com

Do you have any pets?: a scruffy Standard Poodle named Ryder

I like the idea of a book jacket though - Lesley you'll have to get Nick to horse sit so we can all have a meet up somewhere warm & dry! What do you reckon Tish - world cup in Vegas or the Royal in canada?

My partner Nick always ridicules me when I go outside to see what a wheelbarrow looks like "YOU HAVE SEEN MORE WHEELBARROWS THAN ANYONE BORN" shouts he.

yes, but i don't LOOK at them.

Hey, Did you have a sip of Leah's coke? that video cracked me up. Hey folks if you haven't already looked check out the video (it's on the first page) onTish's site, she is a talented actress too.

Gosh I 've been slow to respond, engrossed in getting some drawings done by Friday ( honest Christina I'm at it but it WAS you who introduced me to BarnMice ).

Book Covers..............with a suitable crow bar and a firm slap on the face I have been known to emerge distraught and dissevelled from a commission induced fetal stomach cluch long enough to do one.................

why did i say that???

I know I'm never satisfied........... and when it's for someone else . Arrrrrrrreeeeeegh!!!

Tish discovering your writing has brightened my life.
Thanks
