I love writing, but more than that I enjoy getting lost in the story. I read everything I can get my hands on and have many favorites. Way too many to list. Hiking, cooking, and knitting are favorite past times as well. So is listening to music and watching movies. Oh and I recently started taking belly dancing lessons. But lately bootcamp is taking up much of my spare time. I'm surprised at how much actually. Not that I'm complaining. I like it.
I kill plants. Seriously, don't ask me to take care of yours. At least not if you love them. One week with me and they will cease to be. I don't do it intentially. I just have this aura that kills them. So as you can imagine, I do not work in gardens or plant flowers. Even though I do love to receive them. . . flowers that is.
And I believe the best car ever made was the 68 Mustang Convertible. (I'll take that in candy apple red or black satin thankyouverymuch!)
Chocolate is a gift from God!
DRUMMERS! (Especially since I married one!)
I have a passion for Polish pottery. I think it's beautiful.
And I love watching ice hockey. I'm not a fanatic. I just enjoy watching. But I do know enough to understand the game, and I have quite the puck collection going on of pucks from our local minor league. Go Glads!
Music
To name my favorite music would be impossible. My tastes are as varied as my moods. But I guess I could sum it up with this; I love music full of passion that speaks to me.
But to give you a sample of what music is speaking to me now, I've added the slide show below of a few of the artists shuffling in my iPod.
Check back, because these will probably change after a few days.
And even more listening... Shuffling in iTunes... And don't be too surprised if I'm deep in the writing/editing trenches that the music inspiring my latest book doesn't repeat its self often in this list. ;)
Movies
Again, I have so many favorites it'd be almost impossible to name them. But I will say that I can't say no to the following movies: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (The Return of the King is one of the best movies ever made!), To Kill A Mockingbird (I love Gregory Peck!), Pride and Prejudice, The Right Stuff, Ever After, Rebecca, Anything associated with Alfred Hitchcock, All of Christopher Guest's movies and the list goes on...
MY LASTEST VIEWING PLEASURE:
Television
Hard to say. I don't really watch that much TV. But I'm a sucker for Ghost Hunters. I also enjoy the Food Network. Hey, I love to cook. What can I say. Oh and we mustn't forget the crime and forensic shows.
Books
Waaay to many to list. But if you want to see a sampling of what's in my library. Check out my library at Library Thing by clicking HERE.
This is where I tell you all about Tess, huh? I've never been really good at talking about myself. But here goes anyway. Tess is an amateur sleuth, a princess and a woman on the run. She's also a space traveler, a futuristic warrior and an alien.
What? You don't believe me? It's true. I'm also a hobbit. A wizard. A vampire. And oh yeah... a mermaid.
I am all these things (and so much more), because I'm a writer and a reader. And when I'm lost in the story, I become those characters. Whether they're mine or someone else's. It doesn't matter.
Not enough? Ok, here's a little bit more.
I'm a wife and friend. I'm fierce about what I love and loyal to all who are dear to me. I worry too much over the little things, but I know how to laugh and enjoy doing it often. I've been told I'm weird and evil, but you know... it keeps life interesting so why not.
Anyway, if you want to know more about me, my books, anything at all, check out my website and daily blog at Tess Harrison.com.
Alright! Just to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope the day is all that ya want it to be! All our best wishes!! Gav Ruadh, Mike-E-B and Andy "The Animal" Edmonds
Your blog on Sexy Pants made me laugh. I usually associate tiny sports cars with tiny penis compensation, but the Sexy Pants part threw me. Must contemplate... Meanwhile, thanks for the friending!

It's here! My first shapeshifter book, Scorpio Risen, part of the Dark Tarot line by Tease Publishing is available at All Romance eBooks!
Deylen Troika is the new Alpha of the Centruroides clan of scorpion shifters and the owner of a toxicology lab to appear legitimate amongst mortals. Forced to hire a new employee for his lab, Deylen has to go outside of his clan to find someone with the qualifications. He can't help but notice his new employee Seneca McLane is stunningly beautiful. If only her personality wasn't so abrasive. If only she wasn’t mortal…
Deylen uncovers a secret Seneca harbors, bringing them closer together, more closer than he would have imagined. It also puts his own secret in danger of being discovered.
When a rival clan challenges Deylen for the city, Seneca is caught up in to a world she knows nothing about. Can Deylen keep his clan affairs separate and protect her innocence or will she become an unwitting pawn in the fight for supremacy amongst the arachnid shifters?
