Who is the mom behind in media res?
I'm keeping my identity anonymous for now because of our custody circumstances.
I am a tenured professor, community volunteer, daughter, friend, sister, aunt, cousin in the suburbs of a Midwestern city.
I adore being a mom and enjoy exploring everything with my kiddo.
Why in media res?
I have always liked the idea of stories beginning in the middle of things, from the first time I heard the phrase in junior high as we read Homer.
It feels like this custody battle is always ongoing, so the title feels appropriate to me.
