Mmmm. Like I said, I love to camp and fish and hang out with my husband. I love music. Reading. Writing (of course). Dogs - my Boxer boy and two Mini-Schnauzers.
Music
All Kinds.
Rascal Flatts. Pink. Keith Urban. Nickleback. John Mayer. Daughtry. Sugarland. David Cook. Everything in between. Blues, Rock, some Country, some opera, some R&B, some folk. Just anything that sounds good.
Movies
Romantic Comedies. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I'm not a big movie person, but give me a romance any time. (Though I did enjoy the latest Bruce Willis movie)
Television
I'm a Sucker for House MD. How I Met Your Mother rocks! Oh, and American Idol. Yep. I actually text message my votes. I like The Mentalist too.
Books
Ah, Lots of books. I probably have a couple of thousand, though I just thinned out the massive collection, so now I'm probably down to a couple hundred. Romance books are my favs, though I like non-fiction dog books, research books, writing books, and some medical books. I also read Dean Koontz and Stephen King. Check out all the authors in My Friends section to see my favorite reads!
Heroes
My Husband Lonnie.
My Dad.
My brothers.
We all made it through tough times
And also.... my fur-children
About me: Author Karen Whiddon. You can check out my web page at KarenWhiddon.com
I write paranormal romances and romantic suspense novels for Silhouette Books and for Dorchester Publishing. My 21st book will be out April 2009 and my 22nd will be out in July 2009.
I'm happily married (for 22 years this year! - and we've been together for 27!!!) with a grown daughter whom I'm very proud of. She teaches Kindergarten (6th year teaching) and is single (and very beautiful!) I have two grandcats - one named Lucy - the other named Eli, and three fur-babies (canine), who have their own pages on dogster.com.
In addition to writing, I run a Commercial Trucking Insurance Agency with my husband. That keeps me very busy.
I also love to camp and fish and listen to music - all kinds. I enjoy eating out and reading and going to Las Vegas and traveling - cruises and fishing trips and just about anywhere interesting. Most of all, I enjoy being with my husband.
I love animals - should live on a farm. Years ago, I showed horses (go Blue Cloud Farms!) and I used to show my Border Collie Cody in Obedience Trials, though he passed away at 16 years of age a couple of years ago. He did get his CDX (Companion Dog Excellent) and we made it all the way to the Gaines Invitational Regionals.
Life is good and full (and busy) and I'm happy.

See you there!

Who I'd like to meet: Hmmm. I don't know. Keith Urban? Nickleback. Pink. Lavyrle Spencer, even though she's retired, just to tell her how much I enjoyed her books. Stephen King. Dean Koontz. Oh, and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks, just so I could tell her how much I admire her bravery for standing by her convictions.
All the volunteers for the SPCA and Humane Society who rescue animals in inhumane conditions. I so admire you.
