| Introduction | I am a creative & professional writer & avid reader - an ardent lover of the classics, particularly the works of the British novelists Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Bronte, and Elizabeth Gaskell, but I also enjoy reading the American poets Emily Dickinson & Edgar Allan Poe, as well as memoirs & certain fantasy literature. I am keenly interested in film, particularly how works of literature or true life stories are translated/adapted for the screen. Even though I have traveled to other states & abroad before, I have an innate desire to see & experience more of the world and to travel to places rich in history, culture, & diversity. I am fascinated by the natural landscapes as captured in the spectacular photographs taken by National Geographic, & I also like to read about archeological & historical findings published in Smithsonian Magazine. I have a twin sister (older by a minute), a shetland sheepdog, & my favorite color is any shade of purple. The number 8 holds special meaning for me. |
