Writing, reading, crafts, candles, fantasy, crocheting, scrapbooking, fairy tales, the Renaissance, dogs, cats, Science. Yes, I said Science.
Music
So many different things! Country music, but not sappy stuff - Dixie Chicks, Big 'n Rich, Gretchen Wilson.
Kelly Clarkson. Yeah, I know, but what can you do. If it's any consolation, I also like Pink, and of course being an 80's girl, I love everything 80's. *mumble* I'm also a fan of ABBA*mumble*
Oh, and now I'm a big fan of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Movies
Sheesh, why not ask me which star in the sky is my favorite? I love movies. Let's see...Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Devil Wears Prada, The Mummy, Movie Musicals like Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, Moulin Rouge, and the Wizard of Oz. The Italian Job, Dogma, National Treasure and the Bourne movies too. I'll watch almost anything except those gory Saw movies. Bleck.
I love it all. Not so much the Die Hard variety, but I love most film genres.
Television
While I pretty much detest reality TV (how many seasons of Survivor DO we need?), there are some I like, so there are some on the list.
The list: Ugly Betty, CSI (original only!), House, Bones, Desperate Housewives, Criminal Minds, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, LA Ink, Ghosthunters, Pushing Daisies (which I am SO MAD they are cancelling).
Books
Peter Pan, Grimm's Fairy Tales, Harry Potter, anything by Tamora Pierce, Bartimaeus Trilogy, Empress of Clouds (Diana Hignutt), Roald Dahl everything!, Wizard Academies books , James Owen's Imaginarium Geographica series, Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians books. And of course Tolkien, Lewis, Carroll, Nesbitt and Andersen. :)
..First of all, I know this isn't a film site. I'm not a film maker. I got some stupid malicious code a long time ago that switched me to a MySpace Film account, and MySpace never switched me back. No biggie. I'm a go with the flow kinda gal.
I am a lifelong resident of southern New Jersey (please don't hold it against me). I'm also currently a substitute teacher who is bound for Graduate School to get a Masters in Library Science. I'm also a mother and writer.
I write fantasy novels for kids, and I love doing it!
My newest book, The Crown of Zeus, is now available everywhere books are sold, and also available in ebook from Samhain and most ebook retailers (including Kindle edition at Amazon). The second in the series, The Ankh of Isis, was released in electronic format in July 2008 by Samhain Publishing. It's also available for Kindle at Amazon, and is now also available in print everywhere books are sold!
My first book, Talisman of Zandria and it's sequel Return to Zandria are available through Amazon, B&N.com, Borders, and the publisher, LBF Books..
You can pick up some neat Return to Zandria swag from my cafepress shop.
Outside of my own writing, I've done work doing English Adaptations of Japanese Light Novels for Seven Seas Entertainment., and I'm involved with the Wizard Academies series of books, which is for fans of Harry Potter (and anyone who likes a good fantasy story about magickal kids at school!)
I'm also a member of Broad Universe an organization dedicated to promoting female writers of speculative fiction!
I am available for author visits to schools. Visit my website for more information, and to read excerpts of my books as well as links to places to order.
Look for book reviews written by me in Tales of the Talisman, a quarterly SF/F/H print magazine.
Outside of writing, I enjoy scrapbooking, I make my own candles and I like crafts like crocheting.
Who I'd like to meet:
Kids and adults who love to read, anyone who likes to write, and fans of fantasy. I'm also learning a lot about Japanese Light Novels, so if you're into those, I'd like to meet you too!
Teachers, librarians, people who work with kids and kids' books are all all right in my book. I love most people, actually. Except mean ones. Mean people suck.
Crafters, candlemakers, people who sew, and I used to be involved in the local SCA, so if you like things Medieval and Renaissance, I'd be happy to meet you.
