| Occupation | ghostwriter and author of historical fiction |
| Location | Milwaukee, WI, United States |
| Introduction | I work full-time as a ghostwriter and love every second of it. I am constantly meeting new people and getting involved in new projects. Being a ghostwriter is fantastic because I am always learning something new. However, my favorite thing about the job is more philosophical; I like the idea of being able to give a literary voice to people who may not have one otherwise. Many people have great ideas for a book or an important story to share but do not feel they are able to write it themselves. That is where I step in by taking the author's thoughts and ideas and put them into literary form. I also dream of getting my own work published. I love ancient history and politics, so my work will concentrate on those two subjects. I like the idea of writing fiction that is heavily based on history so that people learn a little something as they go through the story. |
| Interests | I love writing, jewelry deisgn, travelling, cooking, ancient history, collecting fossils, volunteering in the nursery at my Church, working on political campaigns, and just enjoying life! |
| Favorite movies | I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan. I have read the books since I was a kid and the movies are wonderful. I tend to go for historical epics and romantic comedies (You've Got Mail, Return to Me, The Wedding Date, Under the Tuscan Sun, etc.) but I also enjoy a good drama like Atonement. |
| Favorite music | I like everything and anything (well, not rap). I do tend to be drawn to Christian Contemporary music and artists like Enya and Loreena McKennit (Celtic)....but I don't have a problem mixing in some modern popular artists like Rihanna! |
| Favorite books | I am a writer so I spend a lot time reading! While I'm reading a lot of non-fiction right now, I do love a good novel. When I start to think of authors or titles to put in this little box my head starts to spin with all of the things I could list, so I'll leave it at "I spend a lot of time reading" for now! |
If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying 'poop deck'?
I don't think I could! However, I have to admit that I didn't really think to much about this question. I read the word "pirate" and went immediately into a Johnny Depp daydream.
