    Donna Alward's Interests
GeneralI love movies, reading, obviously, and red wine. I'm probably a borderline workaholic, but that's because I just love my job so much!
MusicIt depends on my mood. I'm a huge fan of Josh Groban, Ryandan and Il Divo, but on the other hand I love bands like Nickelback, Daughtry and Three Doors Down. And I get a kick out of a lot of country too, and like to work to classical, so again, it all depends.

MoviesEpics, adaptations and chick flicks. I love miniseries like Daniel Deronda, The Forsyte Saga, Pride and Prejudice, etc. I think a favorite chick flick of all time has to be Love Actually.
TelevisionI watch three primetime shows religiously. For some reason they are all military-based in some form. Maybe it's something about a guy in uniform? Actually I think it has to do more with great writing...my two favorites are The Unit and Battlestar Galactica. The other show I watch is NCIS because it blends that military bit with forensics, which is beyond cool.
BooksI read 'em, I write 'em. I'm not big on suspense but I read a lot of classics, books within my genre, books on craft (writing) and research materials. Right now I'm reading STORY by Robert McKee.
HeroesPersonal heroes? Oh my, what a question. I prefer everyday heroes...those people that move beyond adversity to do great things.
