A Brief History of Ireland Scott
Ireland Scott grew up in Chicagoland (this is the land located outside of the actual city of Chicago that contains many towns no one has heard of (except of course, Cicero, which everyone knows because of Al Capone; and maybe Oak Park because of Frank Lloyd Wright)). It is, as a former Chicago Tribune columnist used to call it, “The Land Beyond O’Hare.” Foreign turf to most.
Scott has been writing in some form since she figured out to use a pencil. Before that she simply drew pictures. On anything – paper, walls, sidewalks, driveways, and 2x4s that became studs in the basement walls. She now writes on the computer, composing young adult fiction, as well as a collection of fan fiction works to allow her inner geek out. (See the Scribblings for more details.)
She has been blogging since 2002 when she discovered Blogger.com. Since then, she’s had several blogs, this one being starting in 2008 when she was stuck in Del Rio, Texas. Since leaving Del Rio, gone from one extreme to the other and wound up on the East Coast. Scott lives with her husband, a toddler, and Basil Bea Dog: The Snow-Loving Dog from Texas.
