My name is Aubrey, but I'm known to good friends as Aubrey Anne. My family calls me Aubs, my kids call me Mom, and someday you'll be seeing my name Aubrey Ortega on the cover of my books!
(At least I hope so.) :)

I have been a SaHM of 3 wild little boys for 8 years now, and I recently started working (retail), which has been a major shock to my system. I have dreams too big for my own good, I'm three times the personality I should be, frequently considered too dramatic, and at times I wonder if I've lost my mind completely. I love my passionate spirit, but it tends to get in my way, so I spend a lot of time trying to work through everything with writing. Currently I'm going through a divorce, which kind of dominates my writing.
This is where I spill all my thoughts and insecurities, ranting and raving, and occasional bragging.
(After all, I do have gorgeous children.)
A big part of my history/identity involves the time I've spent battling depression, learning to live with anxiety, and figuring out how to cope with Adult A.D.D. I talk a lot about Post Partum Depression (PPD), mental illness, and the way we all can triumph over the stigma and symptoms of these issues. We no longer live in the age of secret endurance. We can speak up and live, laugh, and cry together.
