I love watching movies, walking in the rain, reading, writing (of course LOL), and relaxing on my deck. My favorite thing is the fountain we set up by the deck.
Rather than particular musicians, I tend to go by songs that I love to listen to. I'd say my taste is pretty eclectic, running the gamut from Classical to Hard Rock and everything in between, although I mostly listen to Rock. Some groups I've been listening to lately are Coldplay, INXS, Kelly Clarkson, Bodyrockers, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Loreena McKennitt and Paralyzer by Finger Eleven.
Movies
I love to watch movies, so it's really hard to narrow it down. Off the top of my head:
The Holiday
Stranger Than Fiction
The Wedding Date The Phantom Of The Opera Pirates Of The Caribbean Serenity Ever After Legally Blonde In Her Shoes Emma Sense And Sensibility Pride And Prejudice Under The Tuscan Sun The Mummy The Terminator Twilight Mamma Mia Um, I guess I'll stop there because I could go on forever. LOL
I'm not that into watching television series when they're first aired. I've been disappointed too many times by shows that I started to really enjoy watching only to have them suddenly cancelled on me. What I do enjoy watching, however, are shows that are released on DVD. Out of those, my absolute all-time favorite is Firefly, followed by Buffy, Alias and Angel. Okay, I recently made an exception to the new series thing and started watching Dollhouse. But only because I’ll watch anything Joss Whedon writes. LOL
Books
There are so many books I love that it's easier to list the authors. To name a few - Lori Foster, Linda Howard, MaryJanice Davidson, Elizabeth Lowell, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Julie Garwood and Jayne Ann Krentz.
About me: I'm a published author of Contemporary and Paranormal Romance. All my books are available at Samhain Publishing:
If you’d like to try a sample of my writing, check out my free read. STUPID CUPID is a hot and sexy short story I’m certain will put a smile on your face. Warning, you may want to keep some ice close by to cool off. LOL

Tagline:
All she wants is a fling—orgasmic satisfaction guaranteed, batteries not required to get it.
Blurb:
Really bad, boring sex and long-term relationships seem to go hand-in-hand. At least they do in Dana Appleby’s experience. That’s why she’s finally decided enough is enough. From now on she’s on a mission to have a good time, and find out what all the fuss is about. What she really needs is some excitement in the bedroom. What she wants is Reese to give it to her.
For Reese Cooper, short-term relationships are his specialty. And so is sex. When Dana proposes they have a fling he’s more than a little intrigued. And interested. But things go awry when he starts to feel like short-term isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And the idea of Dana moving onto someone else doesn’t appeal one bit. So, what’s a guy to do? The only thing he can do. He sets out to show Dana that long-term doesn’t necessarily mean boring. Not with relationships and definitely not with sex.
Warning: This book contains graphic sex, a scorching-hot office quickie and the teensiest bit of newbie handcuff play. Please note: Batteries not included with this book. But don’t worry, you won’t need any.

THE TROUBLE WITH CURSES
Tagline:
A powerful attraction is the last thing these arch enemies need. Or is it?
Blurb:
Selena Tremayne is different. For one thing, how many vampires do you know faint at the sight of blood? Despite the problems her “differences” cause, she’s grateful. It means she’s not an all-out-evil killing machine. It also means she can’t afford to let anyone get too close. And a guy like Rafe, delicious as he is, is to be avoided at all costs.
Rafe Hunter is a vampire slayer, an odd job thrust upon him by dint of birth. And with his augmented abilities, no one else does it better. Those abilities run into a major short-circuit, however, when he meets Selena. The mysterious beauty clouds his every instinct—something he can ill afford in his line of work. Because of her, his quarry has somehow slipped out of his grasp. Twice.
Coincidences are piling up, and he can’t help but wonder if simple lust is the culprit. Or if it’s something deeper—with dangerous repercussions that extend beyond anything either of them imagined…
Warning: This title contains explicit, sizzling-hot slayer/vamp sex. Please note: No vampires were harmed during the writing of this book.

READY OR NOT
Tagline:
He thinks she’s a flake. She thinks he’s uptight. But neither is quite what the other expected. Especially in the bedroom.
Blurb:
Brianna Michaels is in a fix. She’s doing her best friend a favor, and making a bit of much-needed cash at the same time. Sounds like a win-win situation all around—on the surface. But since the favor is to fill in as a bachelor-party stripper, and straight-laced Quinn MacRae, the man she’s been fantasizing about for years, is in the audience, all is not so great in her little world at the moment.
Quinn MacRae has a problem of his own, and the problem’s name is Brianna. He’s been secretly lusting after her for ages, but as an attorney with a stodgy and prestigious law firm, he has a reputation to maintain, especially if he wants to make partner any time soon. What he needs to do is find the right woman—one who’ll be an asset to his career plans. Which means Brianna’s the last person he should be looking at. Or lusting after. But lust he does, and with a vengeance. Especially after her oh-so-sexy stripper act shows him exactly what he’s been missing.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex.
