Read, read, and read. I love to write and at present am on my fifth novel. I like to spend time with my grandson, travel, crochet and knit, work crossword puzzles, and visit with friends and family. Check out my website at http://www.lindalaroque.com <a
Music
I've been listening to Josh Groban alot lately. Of course I love all classical music and many of the famous operas. On this site I've been introduced to several groups. The song, You and Me, by Lifehouse on my space fits my first book to a T. So, I'm broadening my horizons.
Movies
I like drama, comedy, some action and fantasy.
Television
Oh boy, here's my list. The Apprentice, American Idol, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Missing, Cold Case Files, Raymond, and the Home and Garden, The Learning, & the History Channels.
Books

One of the most interesting books I've read in the last couple of years was the two volumn book SIRONIA TEXAS by Madison Cooper. Wow, his characters come alive and you don't want their stories to end. I also loved all of Steven Hunter's books, Dorothy Garlock's books about life in the early days along route 66, and Diana Gabaldon's Outlander and Dragonfly in Amber. I also enjoyed the Left Behind Series.

Miss Mayfield, the teacher who instilled in me the joy of reading and my grandson who has reminded me how precious is the gift of love.
About me: I have been married to the same man for 40 years. We have two grown children, a super-smart, handsome grandson, and a little dog part Fox Terrier and part Taco Dog (I can't spell the breed) named Molly.
I retired from teaching in 2001 and have been writing full time since then. Because we spent a lot fo time in West Texas, it is one of my favorite places to write about. My first novel, When The Ocotillo Bloom, was published in February of 2007. It is a light romance about two people finding love again while working with problem children at a camp on a ranch in the Big Bend Country of West Texas. I just finished a series of time travels and had loads of fun.
I have three new novels coming out in 2008 and 2009. One is a contemporary romance set in the Hill Country of Texas. The other two are time travel romances that revolve around a mystic piece of turquoise. They were so much fun to write. Now I'm working on a futuristic story where the characters are living with the after affects of global warming.
I hope you'll check out my books and let me know if you like thm.
Who I'd like to meet: Oh, there are loads of folks out there I'd like to meet -- all of my online critique buddies, fellow authors, and some authors I've admired for years. There are too many to list.
Think of '...INBEAT...' as being a '...Global Community...' that belongs to all of its Members... Just like an Internet based United Nations, if you will. It will be used as a mechanism for addressing some of the present and future Global Challenges through the timely introduction of '...Precisioned Initiatives...' that the Community can execute. Because of the precisioned attributes of the '...Envisioned Initiatives...', they would invariably be less costly and more effective than prevailing "programs". Why, you may ask? : Simply because the Initiatives will be coming directly from their '...Source Of Origin...'.
Please review the '...INBEAT...'(InternationalBeat) Profile...
Just wanted to share my last drawing, sorry it's so washed out, I think it's time for a new scanner...again. I have yet to name this piece, lol, I really need to do that.
Trying to, Linda! You know the old saying, Working from sunup to sunset? Well for me it's a lot earlier and later! Hey, it's worth all the blood sweat and tears!
