Karen MacInerney's Interests
|
| General | Ever-changing: at the moment, books, conversations centering on topics I know nothing about (as long as they're interesting), foreign countries (particularly France and Ireland this month), languages other than English, food, and meditation. | | Music | Death Cab for Cutie, XTC, Sting, Gabriel Rios | | Movies | The Full Monty, A Fish Called Wanda, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Shirley Valentine. I also love many of the BBC series; British humor is amazing. Hey, where's the books section? | | Television | NA (seriously)... although I did recently watch Boston Legal and Sex and the City, and enjoyed both. And Sports Night, come to think of it. | | Books | Oh, good. Here's the books section. Outlander, Bridget Jones' Diary, Lolita, The Lord of the Rings, Jan Karon's Mitford series, and P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and Blandings Castle books. Okay, evidently my taste is eclectic. Also, anything by Charlaine Harris or MaryJanice Davidson and anything by Susan Wittig Albert or James Herriot. And the current object of my literary affection: the imcomparable Robin Hobb. | | Heroes | People who decide what they want to do and go out and make it happen, no matter what. People who take risks for things they believe in. And people who look for the good in others, rather than searching for flaws. |

Karen MacInerney's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm currently an Austinite, but I was born in New Jersey (don't tell anyone). My interests are numerous and ever-changing, which means I've picked a pretty good career path. I'm a writer, which means I can make up whatever I want. And get paid for it!
I currently write two series: the first, the Gray Whale Inn mysteries, is set on the rocky coast of Cranberry Island, Maine, and is both culinary and cozy (two of my favorite things). I'm also working a new series, called Tales of an Urban Werewolf, which is a fun paranormal romp scheduled for release next spring from Ballantine. (And I've found out so many interesting things about werewolves -- who knew?)
When I'm not working, you can often find me on the Town Lake Hike and Bike trail or a Starbucks (I have a bad, bad coffee habit). I don't have cable, so unless it's on DVD at the library, TV isn't much of an option. I am a voracious reader, though.

Who I'd like to meet:
All kinds of interesting people! In the famous people category, let's see... Diana Gabaldon for sure. Vladimir Nabokov and JRR Tolkien, but both of those are going to be hard to make happen. Let's see... Anne Rice? And Jan Karon. And Sting. Oh... and how could I forget the most inspirational writer on the planet? Lawrence Block, for sure.
