Introduction I'm an erotic romance author who loves what she does. I specialize in kinky stuff, both romance and non-romance. More recently, I've been working on erotic suspenses, and having a hell of a good time doing so. I also trade the stock market a few times a week, usually by fading the opening gap. My politics are live and let live and don't tell me what to do with my life. :)
Interests Writing, reading, singing, cooking, and eating! Horse racing, our cats, travel (never get as much as I'd like), fine vodka, walking in the sunshine. I'm addicted to over-the-top TV shows like the late, great, Ugly Betty and now-silly Desperate Housewives. I also watch Burn Notice (my fave!), 24 (which has gotten a bit old), Lie to Me, House, The Closer, Saving Grace, Numbers, Castle, and last but not least, Dexter. I'm re-watching the oh, so wonderful Boston Legal series on DVD. Can't stand any reality show except Ice Road Truckers, which had a strange fascination for me.
Favorite Movies Classic Mel Brooks films like The Producers and Young Frankenstein--too much funny stuff to list. Little Miss Sunshine, V for Vendetta, almost any movie that's quirky and/or makes me think.
Favorite Music Warren Zevon, They Might Be Giants, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen's early stuff, anthems of my salad days. And Jonathan Coulton, my fave geek-folk-rocker.
Favorite Books No Place Like Home by Barbara Samuel, Damage by Josephine Hart, The World According to Garp by John Irving, Absurdistan by Gary Shteyngart, Horse Heaven by Jane Smiley, Solar by Ian McEwan

Whoops! Your tongue is now a magnet. Whatever will you use for silverware?

Go with plastic and fuggeddaboudit. Or use my fingers, and wouldn't that be fun! Brings back memories of high school craziness.
