| Introduction | I am 34, married 10 years (going on 11) with 2 children. My kids are 11 and 9, which means they are old enough to give me some alone time, but they don't. I work at a call center (inbound calls only) as a Quality Professional (I listen to calls being taken and I score them based on a set of guidelines). I really like my work, but I would like to be able to write full-time. I have lived in St. Catharines for about 7 years now. Originally, I was born in the Carribean (St. Vincent) and I have lived all over the States and Canada. Well, not ALL over, but we moved ALOT. I think St. Catharines is my favorite city. It has the small town feel of Harrow, where we used to live (1200 people), but the conveniences of a big city like Toronto. |
| Interests | Writing - first and foremost Reading - an extremely close second Walking - I have a dog Kids - specifically, my own |
| Favorite Movies | Shawshank Redemption, The Fifth Element, Constantine, War of the Worlds, The Chronicles of Narnia, Pretty Woman, Monster's Inc and Toy Story. |
| Favorite Music | Anything with screaming vocals, slamming drums and supersonic guitar chords. The harder the better. |
| Favorite Books | Anthing by Dean Koonts. I have read everything he has ever writen, including those under pseudonyms, except his latest two, only because I can't afford to get them yet. I also love the Jean Auel series, but 10 years is a long time to wait for each new book. My kids and I are currently on The Magicians Nephew, the 6th book (and second last) in The Chronicles of Narnia. I am also reading, without the kids, A Million Little Pieces (disregard the controversy and read it for the great story and wild way he writes) and The Life of Pi (very different from Pieces, but just as good). |
