And now for some fun stuff!
I fell in love with the fantasy genre when I was five, and my babysitter read me poems by Tolkien. "Goblin Feet" was my favorite.
I used to sneak a flashlight into bed with me every night as a child. I didn’t need it to see the monsters under my bed, or chase away the darkness; I did it to read; hoping my parents wouldn’t catch me. My eyes still don’t thank me for that!
I am a total gamer geek. From tabletop to computer first shooter and MMORPGs, you name it, I have probably played it. I am not ashamed of my two tackle boxes full of dice that I keep lovingly organized. People tell me I get OCD if my dice are out of place… ever…
My passion for writing began in 1977 when that amazing red box came out, containing Dungeons and Dragons. Come to think of it; my inner geek jumped out around then also.
I have children and grandchildren; the true loves of my life.
I never miss a Marvel movie when they debut in the theaters.
I may not be Oprah, but I have a plethora of favorite things!
- Music, especially Blues, all sorts of Rock, Indy, Country, R&B
- Music on vinyl, because a cd doesn't have that "soul"
- Dogs, particularly German Shepherds and Basset Hounds
- Anything Corey Taylor

- Purple, the color purple makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
- People who serve, be it in the Military, Law enforcement, firefighters, paramedics; my heroes, and I am grateful for them.
- Coffee and chocolate... coffee with chocolate... coffee by itself... chocolate by itself. I think you get the picture.
- My old Canon Rebel that uses film, because film still rocks!
- Lilac bushes
- Maple trees

- BOOKS! I am an avid reader and book lover of multi genres. I have an expansive library of books to the point I am dedicating a room in my house to them. I love and advocate for local libraries.
