I like just about any kind of music. It really depends on my mood or what I'm writing.
Movies
Television
Books
America - ER Frank, The Giver - Lois Lowry, Storky - DL Garfinkle, To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee, Stop Pretending - Sonya Sones, Skellig- David Almond, The City of Ember/People of Sparks - Jeanne Duprau, Geography Club - Brent Hartinger - Speak Laurie Halse Anderson. Really too many books to list but anything that makes me THINK.
About me: I'm a writer, an author actually. Yes, I know, kind of hard to believe but true. I write mostly young adult novels but do write mid-grades, picture books, poetry, short stories and articles as well. I'm also the ARA for the Canadian East region of the SCBWI so writing tends to be a big part of my life right now - that and my family which is and always will be a bigger part of my life. For a list of my books and more about me check out my site at www.almafullerton.com.

WALKING ON GLASS
A 16 year old boy's mother's attempted suicide has
left her brain-dead and hooked up to life support. He
struggles with the hardest decision of his life. He
knows she wouldn't want to live this way but if he
unhooks her life support is that murder or mercy?
In the Garage
Truth and rumour, fantasy and reality, love and prejudice.
Barbara Jean (BJ) Belanger has always suffered from low self-esteem: she has a portwine birthmark on her face, she feels overweight, and has repeatedly suffered the taunts of others her age for which she is a natural target, a victim. One of the very few who have treated her with respect, understanding and affection is Alex, who becomes her best friend. When the need for acceptance for both teens leads one to betray the other it leads to disaster.
Very quickly, BJ''s life is turned upside down in a terrible moment in which the meanness of the world proves too much to bear.
Alma Fullerton brings fresh twists to the meaning of love and betrayal in her uncompromising portrayal of two lonely souls whose profound regard for each other isn''t enough to save their friendship.

Who I'd like to meet: writers, librarians, teachers, publishing industry professionals, agents, editors, and teens.
Thanks for being a member of the Worldwide Fiction Writer's Group (http://groups. myspace. com/wfwg). Since October 26, 2006, we've grown from 1 member to 424. Pretty solid growth . . . but until recently, the forum has been fairly unsteady. I'm wondering if you could help me change that, please? Many "newbies" have joined lately and are looking for advice and mentors. You veterans, please stop by and offer advice often and freely. And you "newbies," please drop by often and be thankful for the advice received. Together, let's make 2009 the year of increased activity in the W.F.W.G. forum.
By the way, I'd love to learn more about you (and help you any way I can!). Please feel free to e-mail me anytime at jjhebert@gmail.com (put "W.F.W.G. member:Top priority" in the subject line) or you can join my "Email List" on www. jjhebert. net to learn about me (my novel's coming out in July)! Talk to you soon, and let's make 2009 a HUGE year for W.F.W.G. and all of its members!
As you may or may not know, I turned twenty-five the other day. Instead of gifts this year, I'm asking everyone to join my Email List on www. jjhebert. net. Unconventional, my newest novel, will be published by Mindstir Media later this year, and joining the Email List will ensure that you receive updates regarding my book release, contests, giveaways, and more.
"Unconventional is a wonderful story full of heart, humor, and what it means to truly be successful. An A+ novel for the keeper shelf." - Gemma Halliday, award-winning author
