Movies
Star Wars (All of them!) Star Trek (the Original Cast 1-6) 2010, The Lost Boys, The Arrival, Pitch Black (Vin Diesel before the fame), Chronicles of Riddick (for Karl Urban--I think he's moving up the ladder-- actually it's because I am a fan of David Twohy's work), Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Raiders of the Lost Ark (Spielberg 'nuff said). And Ordinary People and Late for Dinner.
Television
I'm still searching!!!! Oh wait! The Deadliest Catch!!! My favorite ship though no longer profiled is the Rollo!!

Book of the Dead, The Relic, The Reliquary, Mount Dragon by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. Hot Zone by Richard Preston, Traitors Among Us by Stuart Harrington, Ordinary People by Judith Guest and Arthur C. Clarke (2010 and Childhood's End).
No scifi books you say? Well I got my fix from tv and movies mostly! And any other books that have escaped me at this time look out! Run! Because I will devour you!
And there is my own Cold Warriors! www.claredargin.bravehost.com, www.thescifihaven.bravehost.com on Sale at Fictionwise and Aspen Mountain Press.com
Heroes
Dr. Simon Tam (Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman! And the Wonder Twins!! Did I mention Optimus Prime and the gang? Oh yeah, don't forget Duke, Lady Jane, Scarlett, Flint and Shipwreck (he always made me laugh!) And Sound Wave cause he sounded way cool. You gotta love a guy who carries cassettes in chest! And he was animal lover too (i.e. laserbeak, buzzsaw etc.)
I am a writer and I love science fiction novels. My first novel was published last year with Aspen Mountain Press and I am thrilled. I have another story recently published with Mystic Moon Press and believe me people accepting my work for publication is a dream come true.
What else can I write? I love writing scifi romance stuff. I love the Lord! I am working on a few more projects hopefully they'll be published soon! Cause I can't get enough of writing.
Who I'd like to meet: First of all interesting people!! And anyone who likes scifi, fantasy and romance (tv, books or movies).
Here comes the wish list. So if you are out their surfing guys-- hook me up! Tony Blair-- for reasons that are my own and not sexual in nature. I admire the man for what he has accomplished in spite of his past.
George Lucas-- I'm a Star Wars fan and just because I'd like to see the magic behind Skywalker Ranch.
John Williams-- because I love his music. I played his soundtracks like they were rock music and I still think he is underrated to this day!
David Twohy-- because there is so much behind his work! There is vision and back story that doesn't need to be said by his characters but I would sure love to read it in a future book!
And shall I say have I want to have more female friends-- because true friendship-- shared woman to woman is a bond that is indescrible(sp?). It is more than Grrl power, it's cool friendship that never disappoints!
Oh yeah and people who like my work! I love talking about the stories I write. And if you're into them, I love talking about them even more!
However if you fit none of the above and just would like to connect, hey that's cool too! As Nathan Fillion would say-- "leave some positivity" behind. Why? Because I love happy endings.
Hello Comments May this Thursday find you in thoughtful pause, for the gifts of God, the magic of hope, and the knowledge that I haven't forgotten how awesome your positive manifestations this way have been.
