My name is Shalini. It’s pronounced like this: FLEIJEKSLIFLWSMALAND. I think it’s a Norwegian name.
I used to be a librarian. Now I stay at home with my kids, raise chickens, and do other things. Like read. And draw cartoons. Sometimes I eat as well.
I live in Seattle. Yes, it really rains that much. Yes, it sucks.
You can email me at shalini@readingandchickens.com if you have any other questions about me. Or the world. I am really very nice.
And if you are a Big Publisher and want to give me millions of dollars, you totally should. You can contact agent Danielle Chiotti about my novels.
Or you could just drop the money in unmarked bills outside an abandoned warehouse, if you’re just a kind, generous, no-strings-attached mobster with a heart of gold. Whichever works for you.
Hi Shalini,
I’m so honored that you have a blog crush one me! And I’m excited to add your new blog to my list of “Things that keep me entertained during the work day!”
I have always had a city crush on Seattle probably because I’m obsessed with listening to KEXP Seattle radio, but your rain comment scares me.
hugs,
100FD
