A little about me...
I'm one of those people with an Unquenchable Thirst for knowledge and understanding. I've
learned to QUESTION EVERYTHING. My advice to you would be to do the same for the betterment of your free-thinking mind
and mankind. Don't accept anything you've ever been told. Don't be afraid to ask questions; do your own research---Seek
UNBIASED Resources--- and you WILL find answers. And then---QUESTION THAT!
Keep in mind, ignoring facts won't make them go away.
Give back to the planet. (See my 'Fav Links' page for a few ways to help out!) We ARE
the World...if we continue to destroy our rivers, oceans, rainforests and air -- thus, sending countless numbers of species
into extinction, where does that lead us?
Always follow the Golden Rule and do what you can to help out those in need. Animal,
human...we've only each other to count on.
Support Science, not Superstition...and the world will be a far better place.
Where do my ideas come from?
It may sound silly, but I often dream
up my stories. Literally. I worked on one novel a while back and wasn't quite sure how I wanted to end it when one
evening I went to sleep and wa-la!-- I woke up at 1:30 am and grabbed the note pad by the bed and
wrote down the perfect ending played out moments before in my dream! I LOVE when that happens!
Ideas pop into my head at the weirdest moments. I've even had to pull off the side of the road to jot down
an idea so I won't forget it later.
Honestly, I think I do my best writing in my sleep....perhaps that's why I relate so well to Phantom of
the Opera....I
Another thing I find is that whatever it is I'm working on, my characters seem to 'take over' the story
and I've learned to just go with it...When I fight it, I get writers block, lol....but in my surrender, my characters lead
me down the path of love, laughter and tears in a way that only they can.
I've been fortunate enough to have dated some very romantic (and very sexy...whistling like a construction
worker) men in my life and like to incorporate some of my, er, personal experiences into my novels.
Interest include:
| Phantom of the Opera |
|
I enjoy reading, writing, dancing, watching movies...Phantom of the Opera-my all-time fav!(LOVE the
soundtrack as well. Especially the movie version-Gerard Butler is my fav Phantom...!), P.S. I Love You (Also staring
Gerry Butler AND Jeffrey Dean Morgan--YUM!) Highlander movies and Series (Adrian Paul); Attila (fell in lust with Gerry
Butler in this fabulous TV miniseries from 2001-- excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin...);Titanic, The Count of Monte
Cristo, City of Angels are some fav's, I LOVE Daniel Day-Lewis and Johnny Depp...I'm a sucker for horror films--not
gory--I love the older ones: Bram Stoker's Dracula & Mary Shelley's Frankenstein top the classics. Everything Alfred
Hitchcock!
A few-- I say few because there are soooo...many-- of my favorite fiction authors
are: Jane Austen; Diana Gabaldon; Anne Rice, Laurell Hamilton; Alexander Dumas; Stephen King; Emily Brontė...
Other interest include: Egyptology, Archeology; anything old....antiques are layered with veiled
secrets just begging for someone to unfold their story.
I like a wide range of music from Classical to Raggae, Opera to KISS.
I LOVE research and often get distracted when doing research for a novel I'm working on.
I was a HUGE fan of the History Channels "Digging for the Truth"...and Josh Bernstein (appropriately
dubbed ...the thinking woman's pinup boy by a NY magazine) is not only a great, knowledgable host,
he's MAJOR EYE CANDY!!! Sadly, he left the show after the 3rd season.
But alas---Josh has signed on to do some stuff with the Discovery Channel.
---Speaking of JOSH, did you know he has an identical TWIN?!?!! (Well,
he does! ...Andy Bernstein.)
