My children, READING, writing, history, singing, movies, Christmas, cats....
TATTOOS- Aerosmith wings logo on right ankle, profile image of cat and baby--in likeness of my son when he was a baby--facing each other for a kiss on left leg on side of calf. I plan to have my children's names added around this when I finish having kids. My next ink will be a Celtic bracelet around my left forearm with the Celtic/Gaelic words for books, knowledge, power.

I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. ~Ray Bradbury

My Book and Heart
Must never part.

Since I have named my page "Books are Knowledge and Power", then I have to say that BOOKS are the one thing that truly define me, as I am now. But, I am a self-professed Renaissance woman. I have many, many interests which range from BOOKS, movies, art, music to science, history and more. I am a singer (strictly for fun), I am a History and English major in college. I have a personal library in my home numbering over 2000 books--fiction and non-fiction! I am a writer and my greatest ambition is to write a novel--even better if it turns out to be best-selling and/or award-winning. I love my children and believe that they, and all children, are our future. I am very concerned about the environment and try to do my part whenever I can to improve it. I love Christmas--I am a Christmas fanatic actually! I'm sad when it's over and I start looking forward to it even before summer begins--lol! I also LOVE CATS!!!

These are not books, lumps of lifeless paper, but minds alive on the shelves. From each of them goes out its own voice... and just as the touch of a button on our set will fill the room with music, so by taking down one of these volumes and opening it, one can call into range the voice of a man far distant in time and space, and hear him speaking to us, mind to mind, heart to heart. ~Gilbert Highet

PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER!
You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page.

Hi! If you're going to be in the Nashville area next week, I hope you'll stop by the Opry Mills Mall Barnes & Noble to say hi!
I'll be there on Thursday night, Sept. 3rd at 7 p.m., signing copies of my horror novels COVENANT, that came out last fall in paperback, and my new book, SACRIFICE which just hit stores in May! My third novel, THE 13TH is out in hardcover now, and will be in paperback just in time for Halloween.
If you'd like a taste of my fiction, I've posted links to some of my short stories that are available on the web on my MySpace profile page!
I send my sincerest apologies. To be honest, I don't know what happened. If I did stop following your tweets, I assure you it was completely unintentional. I would love to add you back, so when you get a sec, give me your link.
Once again, I apologize for the misunderstanding. :-)
