| Introduction | I decided I wanted to be a writer when I was 12 and it only took 30 years to reach the goal of being a PUBLISHED writer. I started out writing romantic suspense and historical romantic adventure then added contemporary romantic comedy to the mix. Along the way I picked up a couple degrees, got bored with a number of jobs (and men), and started writing articles about writing fiction, then doing online workshops about writing fiction, all while I was still writing fiction. I still love having a historical angle, and thus Steampunk has got me in its grip at the moment. Haven't forgotten mystery either. This is why I answer to so many names (and have answered to even others in the past). I'm a diversified writer. |
| Interests | Writing fiction, writing about fiction, writing about writing fiction, history, historical reaseach, UK history, US history |
| Favorite movies | SHERLOCK HOLMES, SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE GAME OF SHADOWS, any INDIANA JONES flix, if it combines action, adventure, comedy and things tend to get blown up, I usually like it. If it's sentimental mush that makes the audience cry, I'm not going to be in that audience at all. |
| Favorite music | Once a Beatlemaniac but evolved to soft jazz and love a Cole Porter or Gershwin tune. Michael Buble, Sting, Michael Feinstein, Diana Krall, and movie soundtracks for generating moods when writing |
| Favorite books | Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, Brent Weeks, Casey Daniels' Pepper Martin series, Kate Griffin's Matthew Swift series, George Mann's Newberry and Hobbs series, George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series, C.S. Harris's Sebastian St. Cyr series, Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series |
