I love to travel! In the past year I've been to New York City, Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago, the Dominican Republic, and the Smoky Mountains. This year I have plans to go to New Orleans, Houston, Ft. Lauderdale FL, Hawaii, and Charleston, SC.
And anywhere that I travel you can guarantee that I'll have a Diet Coke in my hand... I'm a serious DC addict.
Music
My all time favorite is The Beatles. Lately I've been listening to The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Jet, All-American Rejects, Panic! At the Disco, Green Day, Evanesence, The Killers, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance. I also still love The Cure- Robert Smith rocked the black eyeliner long before Billie Joe.
Movies
Psycho, Dead Poets Society, Rear Window, Gosford Park, Heathers, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Shakespeare In Love, Romeo & Juliet, Oceans Eleven.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is the book I've re-read the most and Mr. Darcy still makes me sigh. I love the Bronte sisters, Hawthorne, Margaret Atwood, Arthur Phillips, and Agatha Christie (love those British house party scenes and their amazing characterizations!), and I read a lot of nonfiction for research- especially on the paranormal.
Recently I've discovered YA author Stephenie Meyer thanks to Kathy Love, and I enjoy YA and chick lit authors Melissa Senate, Caren Lissner, Libba Bray, and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series.
As for romance authors, I love Teresa Medeiros, Connie Brockway, Lori Foster, Nora Roberts, Heather Graham, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips. All amazing writers and classy ladies.
I'm excited that my first YA book, Demon Envy, has hit the shelves.
A USA Today best selling author, I've written 12 romance novels since my first sale in 2002, and 2 novels for teens under the name ERIN LYNN. I've also participated in 13 anthology collections with some of the hottest names in romance.
I'm a restless writer (translation- I get bored easily!), so I've written sexy romantic comedies, vampire romances, teen paranormal fiction, and now dark and sexy paranormal romance novels.

Who I'd like to meet:
Dead or alive? If we're talking about someone dead, I'd pick Cleopatra. She ruled an empire and had two guys wrapped around her finger. That's impressive.
I did one of those online quizzes to find your famous dead soul mate and mine came up as Edgar Allan Poe. I wonder what that says about me?
As for here, I'd love to meet readers and writers, and connect with friends.
This about sums it up! LOL! I have went back to doing same ol same ol and I am ready to see you guys again! Toast to ya! Drop a line when you get a chance!
