| Introduction | Writer of YA fiction. Mom, wife, chauffeur, all-purpose slave, maker of slop, and keeper of the asylum keys. I love to write, it keeps me sane. As a mother of six, I'm told I qualify otherwise--so here's my pen's salute before battle. Reading helps me escape, but I often can't find what I'm looking for in someone else's work, and when I do, it's over too quickly. I am a creator, an artist, and I look at the world as a director would view a set, seeking the best angles for the story I need to portray. To date, I have completed three novels and am working on half a dozen fourths. |
| Interests | writing, reading, gardening, sewing, dreaming big dreams, shopping (all sorts), drawing, photography, friends, family, decorating, historical buildings, the baking of things I shouldn't eat, long walks outside, seasonal splendor, nature, love, and anything beautiful |
| Favorite movies | It's so hard to pick a favorite anything, like, 'which is your favorite kid?' But a few of the movies I most enjoyed are: Labyrinth, The 10th Kingdom, Pride and Prejudice, Ocean's 11, 12, and 13, Mulan, and most of the Disney stuff. |
| Favorite music | I like all sorts of music, pop, classical and some heavy metal. But no opera- unless there's an orchestrating phantom in it. |
| Favorite books | OMG, loads and loads. Mostly YA stuff, but historical romances, too. Things with action, adventure and a few mushy love scenes. I loved Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and the lot of Tamora Pierce's Tortal adventures. |
Aren't papier mache cuts the worst?
Honestly, nothing beats a papier mache cut, 'cause first you cut yourself, and then you can wrap it all up in a perfectly unsanitary cast. Just sit still long enough for it to harden and try not to paint said cast to look like a pinata. Cheers!
