Writing, watching tv and listening to music. I especially like artistic reality TV shows where the person has to perform or create something, ie. American Idol & Project Runway!
I've joined a new blog group of published Fantasy, Futuristic and Paranormal writers. Check us out at www.star-crossedromance.blogspot.com
Music
Right now in my car I have The Saint soundtrack, Michael Bolton's Only A Woman Like You, Celine Dion's A New Day Has Come, and Wade Hayes' Old Enough to Know Better. My desk at work is littered with different artists' work. Off the top of my head there's: Ronan Keating's Import CD, Laura Pausini's From the Inside, Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway, Michael Bolton's Love Songs, a couple Savage Garden CDs, Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts and several compilation love song CDs including American Idol's Season 3 cast.
Movies
I loved V for Vendetta. The writing was superb!! Not to mention the plot twists, character development and action. It's an all around good flick, so go see it!
Some faves are: Never Been Kissed, Ever After, Cinderella, The Saint, National Treasure & LOTR.
Television
American Idol & Project Runway are two of my faves. Also try not to miss too much HOUSE and CSI. I prefer the original in Las Vegas, but will take any of the three varieties.
Books
Lord the list is too long! I have so many books to be read I'm running out of places to prop them. Right now I'm trying to get through 2 loaners--Eragon and With No One as Witness. I can tell you that my long time favorite author is Johanna Lindsey. I have copies of all her books in paperback stored safely away in one of my display bookshelves.
Heroes
My grandfather taught me how to be a strong person while still showing emotion and introduced me to the love of family. Both he and my grandmother gave me unconditional love that helped shape me into the person I am today. I dedicated my book, PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED, to them for showing me how love (and marriage) is supposed to be. My mom has always supported me no matter what. Even when I wanted to study art in college and then decided to give romance writing a try. Somewhere in the back of my mind I know that if I stumble, she'll be there to help take up the slack til I get back on my feet.
You Are Halloween
You are a dramatic, wild, and even weird person.
The dark side of life fascinates you, and you enjoy being a little terrified.
You enjoy the hidden sides of life. You are interested in what lurks deep in people's hearts.
You are playful and creative. You enjoy pretending you're someone else.
What makes you celebrate: Anything bizarre, unusual, or freaky.
At holiday get togethers, you do best as: The entertainer. You really like to get into the mood of the holidays.
On a holiday, you're the one most likely to: Insist on a theme party of some sort.
Mulan You are a bit of a tomboy and you have your own style that is unique to your personality. You are always prepared for anything and you are totally ready to put up a fight when needed. Your keen sense of whats right and whats wrong will be really useful!
Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works.
Stopping by to wish you a fantastic week!!! Hope all is going great with you!!! Check out my newest single Whipping Post on Texas radio NOW!!!

As fall arrives, I just wanted to leave you a note, wishing you a great halloween season! It's time to decorate, so get out the pumpkins, the spider webs and the skeletons!

Don't be a stranger. Let me know what's going on in your neck of the woods.
Tanna Aldrick is the captain of a deep space salvage ship in the twenty-ninth century. When she and her all-female crew stumble upon an ancient ship floating in the middle of nowhere, what they discover is more valuable than anything they could have ever imagined finding – a gorgeous hunk of a man from the twenty-second century, perfectly preserved in cryogenic suspension. From the moment they revive him, Tanna finds herself falling for their handsome passenger and finds herself inviting him into her bed.
Garrick Carlisle wakes up after seven-hundred years in hypersleep to find that everything and everyone he knew is gone. Lost and disconnected, the only thing that keeps him from completely losing it is the beautiful and sexy, dark-haired ship’s captain who rescued him. But Tanna isn’t the only person interested in Garrick. A man like him would bring a high price on the slave blocks and there are a lot of unscrupulous people willing to do anything to get their hands on him.
How far will Tanna go to protect her valuable cargo and what will Garrick do to stay with the woman he has come to love?
