Description
Reba Saxon finds it hard to write a short concise bio. She has had at least a dozen jobs in her life, and has three current businesses in addition to writing: real estate broker, auctioneer, and apartment locator. She has been in sales and publishing for 25 years, loves to teach anything, and wishes she could be paid for just driving around and describing it. She has driven a minimum of 30,000 miles annually since she had a license 40 years ago. Over a million miles is a meditation style.
