Walking and travelling, watching t.v. and reading.
Music
Well I love all kinds of music from opera to pop, if it has a tune I will like it.
Movies
I am a big film buff, when I was a kid there was no t.v. and the cinema was the place to go. I think my favourite film is Casablanca but I love "Sabrina" too, if you think that makes me Humphrey Bogart fan, you are right on.
Television
I love American comedies - Mash I loved as well as Cheers, my all time favourite has to be Frasier.
More seriously I love the West Wing and confess to watching all the Jerry Bruckheimer franchises - CSI, Law and Order et al.William Petersen is my all time favourite.
Books
My all time favourite book is "The Great Gatsby" and of course all the books by the Bronte sisters. Modern books appeal too, my two favourites are Michael Connelly and Kathy Reichs. I bet you are thinking I thought she said she was a romantic novelist - well you get to have a day off too!
Heroes
This will sound so cynical but all the heroes I ever had seem to have had feet of clay. I think if I had any heroes it is those men who fought for liberty and freedom in both the World Wars. The ordinary man in the street who gave everything.

Margaret Still reeling from hearing that The Substitute Bride made the finals at the 2010 Electronically Published Internet Connection, or EPIC!!! Posted at 2:46 PM Nov 19 view more
I am a romantic novelist and currently have a new book out with Robert Hale Limited and have a new book out with Robert Hale. "Shadows of the Past" is available from www.halebooks, www.amazon.com www.thebookdepository.com. book stores and some libraries.
My previous books with Robert Hale are A Poisoned Legacy and Breaking the Clouds, for more details, reviews etc do check my website at www.margaretblake.co.uk.
I also have six books published by Whiskey Creek Press.com, and one book with Wings Press.
I was born in Manchester, England and live at the coast in Lancashire (UK). During the l970's and l980's I published seven historical novels and four contemporary romances, with Robert Hale Limited.
Novels published by Whiskey Creek Press are: "Fortune's Folly" and my second "Eden's Child" Both have had good reviews. Eden's Child was the number one bestseller for March. Then came Beloved Deceiver, His Other Wife and last month "A Substitute Bride." For this novel I returned to my writing roots as it is an historical romantic suspense set in Medieval England and this also was a No. l best seller at Whiskey Creek Press, then came another contemporary romance Spanish Lies.
Early this year I returned to my original publisher, Robert Hale Limited of London and my first novel with them Breaking the Clouds, is a romantic suspense - my very first suspense -and on the 3lst October 08 Hale's also published A Poisoned Legacy.
This novel is set in Florida, one of my favourite places and it is a romantic suspense.
Actually A Poisoned Legacy is my l3th novel published with Robert Hale, I do hope it is lucky for some!
Recently I signed a contract with Wings Press for a contemporary romance "Bitter Betrayal" was published in January 2009.
I love love walking and reading. Travel is a top favourite too and I love to visit the States. I have been to Australia and New Zealand and absolutely loved both places. One day I hope to get back there.
I am married to John and have one son and three gorgeous grandchildren. I also have the best daughter in law in the world. My son and his family are in the USA so I get to visit and it is always a treat for me.
Christmas Is a Time for Love and Fun Christmas is a time for love and fun, A time to reshape souls and roots and skies, A time to give your heart to everyone
Freely, like a rich and lavish sun, Like a burning star to those whose lonely sighs Show need of such a time for love and fun.
For children first, whose pain is never done, Whose bright white fire of anguish never dies, It's time to give your heart to every one,
That not one angel fall, to hatred won For lack of ears to listen to her cries, Or arms to carry him towards love and fun,
Or friends to care what happens on the run To adult life, where joy or sadness lies. It's time to give your heart to everyone,
For God loves all, and turns His back on none, Good or twisted, ignorant or wise. Christmas is a time for love and fun, A time to give your heart to everyone. Huggles~n~Snuggles~Peace~n~Harmony~Author, Betty Blevins
