Once upon a time I played saxophone and piano and taught both. Now I'm taking guitar. So I like all kinds, but am partial to the blues, jazz, classic rock, and classical. In particular I like Eric Clapton, Robert Cray, Jimmy Buffett, Jack Johnson, Lyle Lovett, Sting... here we go again. Stop me before I'm out of control!
Movies
"Lord of the Rings"
"Hitch"
"Pirates of the Caribbean, I, II, and III"
"The Fugitive"
How much time do we have?
Television
Yeah, I own a couple. I like to watch "Bones" and "Eureka" but everything else is a toss-up.

Of my latest thriller, THE SERPENT'S KISS, bestselling author Tess Gerritsen said: "I can't remember the last time a thriller made my heart pound and my hands sweat, but The Serpent's Kiss did all that and more. This is a tense, high-octane read!"

I was reading your commen section, my note should say, So your a writer, how neat.LOL.. I thought I could type until I started editing my notes. Sometimes you post them before you notice your goofs.
I mostly read Love inspired series and Love inspired Suspense series, different authors.
Where do I go to see some samples of your writing?
Mark, You a writer, how heat, one of my roomates after college should have been a writer. Her letters were always so descriptive and you could see what was going on by what she wrote. Here lately I've been catching up with relatives I've found on the internet, plus a classmate from highschool that I found out wrote a book called ONLY A GAME, her name is Sherry Gibson, she is on myspace if you care to check out her book.
