About
This blog is written and maintained by Simone Paddock - CEO, Photo Editor and Jack-of-all-Trades (we suppose, we can now add “blog monkey” to that) for Obsidian Stock.
Simone has been writing since age 5, but really only semi-coherently for roughly the last 10 or 15 years. She was forced to do a lot of it while working as a PR and grassroots marketing drone for book publisher O’Reilly, but has more recently written freelance articles for Central Oregon glossy “Bend Living Magazine” and the national “Log Home Design Ideas Magazine”.
She has lived in the blog sphere for roughly 7 years and maintains a couple of other places of online rambling, but really mostly this one here.
