I live on the edge of the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California one mile from the beach. Best times are spent writing, reading, running, working out, singing in my jazz sextet and/or baking yummy delectibles. Summers are for exploring the many fascinating destinations in the United Kingdom---my "adopted" home. Thanks to British friends, I have the inside track on some of the best finds the UK has to offer.
Music
Almost everything!
Love the classics - Streisand, Manilow, Sinatra, Mathas, Beatles, Aerosmith, Cat Stevens, Jack Johnson, Queen, Mozart's choral pieces ahh...Darren Hayes!!
Movies
Shakespeare In Love, Somewhere In Time, The Notebook, As Good As It Gets, Joel Schumacher's Phantom of the Opera, Timeline, Dear Frankie, Somethings Gotta Give, While You Were Sleeping, Return To Me, Kate & Leopold, Sound Of Music,One More Kiss, Fifty First Dates, Don Juan DeMarco, Under the Tuscan Sun, Cold Comfort Farm....are we seeing a pattern here? Could It be Romance?
Television
Don't watch much. Do like "Lost" It is well written and acted. The oldies, again...Seinfeld, Old Carol Burnett Show, Dick Van Dyke, Original Star Trek and TNG, Miniseries: Thornbirds, Shogun, Roots, The Jury (A BBC Production) The Mr. Bean Show (BBC, again), Monty Python
Books
Too many to mention. Love the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon. Nora Roberts for classic romance. Shelley Bradley for visceral, passionate love scenes, A good Phaze Heatsheet for spicy erotica. Inspirational?...New Testament parables, M.Scott Peck, Steven Covey, John Bradshaw.
Heroes
The non-violent revolutionaries: Jesus, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, JR. Jimmy Carter for using post-presidency to the best advantage. Oprah for uplifting women in the media.

I write about women in the midst of
living their exciting productive lives;
they don’t need a man, but the right
one certainly provides a challenge and
the enrichment that only an equal can
supply. If he’s a hot Brit, well then,
all the better.
I hope you find my stories as
provocative as the characters that
inhabit them. If you have half the fun
reading them that I’ve had in the
writing---well, let me just say this,
we ought, the lot of us, to be in jail.
Free Read to be released at Phaze.com on February 12th...just in time for Valentine's day!

You are members of the largest group of fiction readers in the nation. All other genres combined don't come close. You are educated, intelligent and positive. Just like romance itself, you look to a bright future. You are who we writers spend hours pouring over our computers to entertain, educate and animate. In turn, you are filled, going on to uplift and inspire others. A real Win-Win situation, if ever there was one.
I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible...at booksignings, airports, conventions, and right here, online.
I'm ready to talk!

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my new erotic horror novel THE 13TH is now in stores everywhere! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride!
There's even a website devoted just to the book, with an interactive map of the places and characters at www.the13th-horror.com.
Edward Lee called THE 13TH "A double-barreled shotgun blast of macabre entertainment -- an expert amalgamation of grotesquerie, eroticism, mystery, and pitch-black occult horror that no fan of the genre can miss."
And Gary A. Braunbeck said, "John Everson's The 13th is the first out-and-out horror novel in a long while to actually scare the **** out of me while reading it. It's stylish, extremely well-written, filled with richly-drawn characterizations, and boasts a labyrinthine plot worthy of Umberto Eco. Trust me -- this one will fry your nerves and break your heart."
it's about this biblical archaeologist who get assigned laborious tasks by a mysterious person named methusela in order to get artifacts which help to prove authenticity of the the bible. eventually he becomes the target of a group that wants to 'resurect' Babylon. it's a series of books, but i have only read the first one yet.
Thanks for wanting to be my friend! Feel free to say hey anytime. I'm running a contest right on my blog-- go read the first chapter of my next horror novel and post a comment, and you may win a free book! It's a great way to see if you like my work! You can read it here, or www.longcrazyroad.blogspot.com.
Thanks! Seriously- keep in touch! I'm not a fan of friend armies. I love to get to know new artists, authors, readers, anybody!
