My favorite author is Emile Zola. No one compares to him. I’ve collected most of his THE ROUGON-MACQUART series – I started back in 1996 and have 16 of the novels so far. I'm having trouble locating the rest. Coming in at a close second is Gabriel Garcia Marquez. ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE and LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA blew me away. He’s an amazing storyteller. Other favorite authors include Guy de Maupassant, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, John Steinbeck and Dean Knootz. My favorite novel is THE STAND by Stephen King (the uncut version). Other unforgettable books are PERFUME (The Story of a Murderer) by Patrick Süskind, and THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES by Ray Bradbury.

Healthy Minds's Blurbs |
About me:
Hello, my name is Lynne. I am currently enrolled at Santa Barbara City College, majoring in the Alcohol and Drug Counseling Program. I plan to work with children, teenagers and adults dealing with mental health problems and/or substance abuse after graduation.
I created Healthy Minds as a place to help promote well-being, spirituality, positive thinking and inner peace, and to explore the many faces of mental health, substance abuse, addiction and other important social issues. I plan to use the blog to share articles, books, interviews, health news, music, psychology, inspirational quotes, alternative medicine, and other topics promoting happiness, health and peace of mind. My hope is for people will ask questions, share our knowledge and stories, understand those in need, and to be caring and supportive of one another. I'd also like it to be a place to network and connect with other caring individuals, mental health counselors, support groups and organizations here in the United States and around the World.
I identify with turtles more than any other living creature. I'd die without good literature to read on a regular basis. I'm obsessed with the color purple. I have a huge crush on Manny Ramirez, the baseball god of the Boston Red Sox. Tumbleweeds scare me to death. I can't live without coffee.
My hobbies include writing stories, anime, cooking, digital photography, French literature, collecting rings and bracelets from around the world, birdwatching, watching TV and movies, gardening, studying human nature, making greeting and notecards, watching the Boston Red Sox play baseball, and drinking good coffee.
Please feel free to email me with any comments or questions. You can also find me here in myspaceland as Lynne/javaturtle.
