| Introduction | I have been a fiction writer for close to a thousand years, though in reality it's probably closer to twenty. Published, you ask? Not yet, but this isn't the end of the story. Happily, in between the blank pages, passionate scribbles, and inspired moments, (read, blood sweat and tears) I have been blessed with an awesome husband and four fantastic children - quite perfect, is each and every one:-) Alas, education credits are lacking...nothing to brag about or fill-in-the-blanks, though I am duly proud to report that the University of Life has awarded me top honors - a Doctorate, in fact. |
| Interests | God, family,friends,writing,interesting people, art, music,relationships,unusual elements of architecture, collecting vintage treasures: typewriters, pens, depression glass, clothing and accessories, Halloween, etc. Just old cool stuff that's been around for a while. Sewing, quilting, painting,creating odd bits of this-and-that, reading from my teetering piles of books, health, nutrition, fitness, rollerblading, garden design, cooking (late bloomer in the kitchen, but blooming I am!) Ebay junkie. |
| Favorite movies | To Kill a Mockingbird, This Property is Condemned, Barefoot in the Park, The Way We Were, The Godfather,Rocky,The Great Gatsby (hum, I just realized maybe I could've just wrote "any movie with Robert Redford back in the day.") All Jemes Cagney flicks, Saturday Night Fever, AND, Step Brothers (insanely, ridiculously funny.) |
| Favorite music | A little bit of this and that. You know, it's all about the mood, but I must remark that "Moon River" tingles to the bone. Beautiful... |
| Favorite books | To Kill a Mockingbird, The Starlight Drive-in, The Great Gatsby, Eden Close, The Secret History, A girl named Zippy,Catholicism for Dummies, The Maker's Diet, Street Car Named Desire, The Last Summer (coming soon.) |
When you hesitate before hitting snooze on your alarm clock, are you being lazy?
No, absolutely not! It's all part of the process of easing myself into another day :-)
