Books, naturally. (Duh.) Music. Good food, stimulating conversation and a nice red wine doesn't hurt.
Music
I'm all over the place with what I like for music. Anything from alternative to rock, but I don't like rap that defaces women or twangy country music.
Movies
I love a good movie. Again, it's impossible to pick a favorite. Plus, I'm generally satisfied with any movie if popcorn is involved.
Television
The Office and Grey's Anatomy hands down. The writing is tight, the acting fabulous, and the hot doctors on GA make me wish I could don a hospital johnnie just to hang out with them. The Office is more about subtle, everyday humor, but I'm digging it. Did you know that the eyes are the groin of the head? See what you can learn from TV?!
Books
I read and love too many to pick a favorite, but the last books to blow me away was Nancy Werlin's "The Rules of Survival" and Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" -- Absolutely awesome.
Heroes
It was the esteemed Martin Luther King Jr. who suggested that the measure of a man is determined not by where he stands in times of comfort, but where he stands in times of adversity. Heroes are people who do what's right, even when it doesn't serve their own interests, even when it is hard and comes with a price. How can you not admire anyone who does that?
About me: I began working at the age of six, delivering newspapers up a steep, and decidedly creepy, hill called Robert's Road. I've worked as a library aid, a pizza maker, a tee-shirt maker, and bill-collector. Currently, I'm a freelance writer for a local community newspaper.
I'm the runner-up for the 2006 SCBWI's Barbara Karlin Grant and "Death at Deacon Pond" is my first novel.

Who I'd like to meet: Readers. Writers. People who have something to say and say it with interest.
OH. Are we talking famous people?
Oprah--To find out how the most powerful woman in the world still manages to connect so well to the masses.
J. K. Rowling--She's an expert in plot. Who wouldn't want to pick her brain?
The Dalai Lama--He represents peace and happiness. I'd love to have as much faith as he does.
Merry Christmas! Unfortunately this holiday season has not been the best for us, but we are going to make it as special as we can for the little one. Hope you have a great Christmas.
Hallo, bedankt voor de vriendschap (hello, thanks for the frienship) a reader & dreamer from Haaksbergen, the Netherlands (the picture below is one of the dreams) .... falco
HI. My dear friend, I have been neglecting you! SO here I am to say, hi and how do you do? I am up and around from the foot surgery but have the next one to lookj forward to. I am in an odd way looking forward to it because I am going to read the last installment of Twilight! I am super excited about that! Hope you are well and that your creative juices are flowing! Love T
You are too sweet! :) It has gotten cold here, as in freezing at night. A little early in the year here for that. My kid was diagnosed with the croupe yesterday so we are hoping he will be OK for the big day! sigh :( Hope you and yours are well! Love T
Aidan has two costumes, one potty friendly one for school which is a firefighter, then the other is a Scooby Doo outfit...he is just darling in it! We are excited to go trick or treating in the new neighborhood. Mommy is even getting in on the fun this year! I got a cool wig and outfit for a spider lady. We have HUGE spiders at our new house, so I am embracing my new environment! Hope you have a great weekend! Love T
HI. Yes, we are a very blessed family! We love our new house and it feels a little more like home everyday. We lived together in the other house for 13 years, that was the longest I ever lived anywhere. It is still surreal at times especially in the middle of the night. So What is Ethan going to be for Halloween?
Happy real birthday to you! :) I made it to your page!!! Hope you have been pampered to the hilt and that you have had a truly wonderful celebration of your life!!! :) Love T
