Introduction Following where God leads me. Kenya. The UK. Youth group here in the States. Sometimes it's doing the laundry. You may find me a) On the edge of my seat gripping a YA fantasy novel, b) Smelling gorgeous flowers, c) Having a blank look about me when really, I'm deciphering a metaphor from nature, d) Watching a British mini-series - how are they so addictive?!?! and e) Hording thai food. On second thought, sharing it is way more fun.
Interests Edge-of-your-seat YA fantasy fiction, Immersing myself in my writing, Laughing, giggling, guffawing, Seeing plants sprout, especially sweet peas, Deciphering symbolism in nature, Getting inspired by lovely people and a lovelier God
Favorite Movies Xmen series, Any sci-fi/fantasy film, Batman (until Christian Bale's jaw and grainy voice were overemphasized in the newer films), Anything that is British period film
Favorite Music Film scores hands down, Then instrumental New Age, Can't forget the occasional Christian dance/hip hop song ie. The Invasion, Need Your Love
Favorite Books Captivating, C.S.
