Favorite novels: 'Cloven Hooves,' The 'Wicked Years' series, 'Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe,' 'The Stand,' 'Sarum,' 'London,' 'The Time Traveler's Wife,' the Sookie Stackhouse books, MANY others I can't think of right now...

Favorite writers: Megan Lindholm, Gregory Maguire, Fannie Flagg, Stephen King, Edward Rutherford, Charlaine Harris, and MANY others.

Favorite music: It depends on what I'm writing. I often use music to get into time-frame or character. It can be show tunes, Irish/Celtic folk songs, rockabilly, 70s pop, British invasion rock 'n' roll, or anything that might take me where I need to 'be.'

Non-noveling interests: Reading, cooking/baking, travel, poetry, music, language, history, my beautiful city Savannah. I'm interested in EVERYTHING!

Brief Author Bio:

I've been a writer all my life, but finally 'got serious' about my own writing in 2004. I'm a trained high school English teacher, with an emphasis in writing, but don't currently work in the field. I've completed one novel, and also write poetry, essays, and children's stories, as well as the multi-volume 'fact-fiction' series I'm continuing to work on. I've also done a good deal of academic writing in my time, and plan to write a non-fiction, (biography), piece eventually. My most rewarding writing experience has been with my partner in writing and life, Lee. We've collaborated in person and also via email and instant messenger, (a GREAT way to write dialog!). I've also had wonderful experiences in writing classes, writers' workshops, and other group settings. I live in beautiful Savannah, Georgia, which feeds my artistic soul.

Synopsis: "Dancing in the Breeze with Daffodils: The Continuing Story of Roddy & Linda"

This is the second book in Roddy & Linda's story, and this is the third NaNo I've been working on it, and it is currently at 101,540 words, with five 'finished' chapters, and another nine still in the draft stage. The story begins shortly after the end of the first book in the series, "The Door into the Rose Garden," in January 1953 Manhattan. Roddy is a sturggling actor and musician, and Linda is a waitress, saving money to attend college and working on becoming a writer.
