Here’s one of those…I can’t believe I have to explain this…kind of posts. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve received half a dozen emails from people thinking I’m a different Dawn Montgomery (and a lovely amount from people looking for the author, Thank you guys!).

There’s a lovely model in Georgia who’s recently been in several magazines and photo shoots. I’m not her. So please stop sending me all the wicked and downright scary things you want to do to this poor woman. I hope she has body guards and an incredible sense of danger. I have no way of getting hold of her, so don’t send me emails that way either.

There’s a Jeri Dawn Montgomery in Houston who accidentally killed someone b/c she was texting while driving. Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about texting while driving. As a matter of fact, I hate phones as a general rule, so it wasn’t me. (Nevermind the fact that I don’t live in Houston and am not serving a prison sentence). So please stop sending me hate mail about irresponsible texting. I assure you, this isn’t me.

The awesome female basketball player. She’s awesome…really. You need to see her play. I did and I was amazed. But nope, not her. I’m only 5 feet tall.

So maybe I should tell you a little bit about myself. I’m short, chubby with red hair, blue eyes, and pale skin (and freckles!) that can only come from major sun avoidance. I’m Irish, Scottish, and Shawnee in my heritage which makes me all-American. LOL!

I’m happily married and have some of the best kids in the world…even if they do their best to drive me crazy. I’m scatterbrained and spend my time making people laugh or making them feel comfortable in their own skin. I’ll never be a model or basketball player. To be honest, the only sports I like are solo sports. Hiking, running, walking, weight lifting…I’m picked last in pick up games b/c I am just that bad.

Dawn Montgomery is a penname.

For those of you who wonder why I “hide” behind one, I need only look to the stalker-eque emails for these other Dawns to confirm my instincts. My family is my life and endangering them by allowing unknown people access to my personal information is reckless.

This will be posted up on my “About Me” page under the FAQs.
