Gosh, lots of things! I enjoy writing (of course,) reading and embroidery. I also love to camp, fish and hunt (deer, elk, and upland game birds) and collect fossils and rock specimens.
Music
Hard rock only, please! AC/DC, Metallica, Alice in Chains, etc., etc. While I'll occasionally put on an easy listening station for the dogs to listen to, my personal preference is loud and driving.
Movies
Comedy or action. I like to laugh or see things blow up. Often I laugh WHEN I see things blow up. Heh...
Television
We don't get network TV on our satellite uplink (no cable in the hills) so I watch SciFi channel, FX, Spike, Fox News, and Nickelodean (I ADORE Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob! Go, Squidward! [grin]) The Dresden Files on SciFi channel has become a favorite, and am LOVING the new Doctor Who on BBCAmerica.
Books
Thriller/suspense, mystery, horror, paranormal, SF, fantasy and romance novels. All time favorite authors are: Laurell K. Hamilton, Clive Cussler, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Howard, Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, PN Elrod, Susan Grant, Susan Kearney, Linnea Sinclair, Rowena Cherry, Robert Ludlum, Sue Grafton, and Tony Hillerman.
Heroes
People who do for others without expectation of reward or recognition. The ones who act selflessly in the face of hardship are worthy of respect from everyone.

Who I'd like to meet:
Our readers. I always enjoy meeting people who like our worlds! I like to meet other members of the organizations where I belong. Other than conferences, I don't get much of a chance to meet people.
Cathy--I was at the local "mini" Borders and saw multiple copies of your new book, facing out! Yahoo! Are you going to RWA for Nationals? If so, I'll wait and buy a signed copy. If not, one of the local ones has my name on it!
Thanks for accepting my request, Cathy. Thanks for the invitation. It's great to connect with another writer!
At the website for my upcoming novel -- www.howtobuyaloveofreading.com -- I'm inviting submissions of stories about how reading changed people's lives in some way. I'd love it if, as a fellow writer, you added your voice. (And we could link your story back to your website, of course, if you'd like.)
And if you have a few minutes, I'm hoping the trailer below will make you laugh:
We all love free books. So check out my contest at www.lindaciletti.net I’m giving away 2 romantic adventure books to one winner--a historical and a time travel either in ebook pdf format or trade paperback. The historical is a 2009 Eppie Winner.
