    Dena K. Salmon 's Interests
GeneralReading, playing guitar,walking with my dog, interfering in my childrens' lives (just kidding, just kidding).
MusicI love music--all genres (except death metal,new age-y stuff, polka bands, gansta rap, techno, bebop, Schoenberg...) But really, almost everything else.
MoviesListened to Sweeney Todd and saw part of it, too. (Had to avert gaze and cower when the blades came out.)
TelevisionRarely indulge. Must request technical assistance from the offspring each time I watch a DVD.
BooksCurrently reading: The Elegant Universe, by Brian Greene; The Titan's Curse, by Rick Rordan; Ivanhoe, by Sir Walter Scott. Audiobook: Middlemarch, by George Elliot.
HeroesOther writers (the really good ones), musicians (except those in the section above), artists--is this general enough? It's difficult to maintain hero worship because of the feet-of-clay issue. My husband's pretty nice.

   Dena K. Salmon 's Blurbs
About me:
I'm a freelance writer, and for the past [indistinct mumble] years, I've been in hot pursuit of a publishable novel. I've tried my hand at a mystery, the Great American, and a couple of middle grade/young adult books. I'm pleased (i.e., sobbing tears of joy) that Hyperion Books for Children will be publishing Discordia: The Eleventh Dimension (Winter '09). It will be followed by the sequel, Discordia: Worlds Without End. Both books chronicle the adventures of Lance (level 19 zombie sorcerer), and his friend, MrsKeller (level 23 hobgoblin brigand), who find themselves trapped in the world that inspired their favorite online game. *********************************************************** For more about Discordia: http://www.discordia11thdimension.com/
Who I'd like to meet:
writers, readers, gamers, comics and anime artists, book people, theoretical physicists, the undead, afficiandos of the undead.

Thank you for the friendship. As you can see, I am a writer promoting my work on myspace. I have a fiction blog where I post short stories as a way of staying in touch with fans and to give potential new readers a chance to gauge my work. It would be very cool if you'd check it out.




Thanks again,
Mark

I asked Santa for a special love letter from my husband this year - the cheesier, the better. I want lots of romance! I hope I get it...

May you have a joyous holiday full of love, laughter and happiness!

Yep, feeling wiser can help ease the pain of feeling older... sometimes :) Let me know. I discovered that particular piece in my mid-twenties, thanks to a boyfriend, and I remember my first reaction when he told me about it: Schoenberg? Yuck ! Do you play the piano? Because that was the reason I didn't like him. Hated his piano pieces.

Hello Dena,
Thanks for the invitation. I like your "voice" on the profile. I used to not like Schoenberg until I discovered the Verklärte Nacht piece for orchestra. Do you know it? It is now one of my favorites. Congratulations for landing those contracts ;)
