About Me


My Interests

Clean air, healthy planet, world peace, love of family and friends, and the practice of the Golden Rule. Hey, I'm not asking for much!

I'd like to meet:

KISS OF CRIMSON ~ USA Today & NYT (extended list) bestseller!
MIDNIGHT AWAKENING ~ USA Today & NYT (extended list) bestseller!

--J.R. WARD, New York Times bestselling author[video produced by Stonecreek Media ]

Music:

My iPod is jammed with alternative, metal, goth rock, electronica, hip-hop, trip-hop, ballads, and even (dare I admit this?) a couple of old disco songs. But the one song I'd want to hear in my final moments boils down to this: IMAGINE by John Lennon. To me, that song says it all.

Movies:

Just about anything dark or supernatural, visually dazzling, or thought-provoking.

Television:

True crime shows, SURVIVOR, and the occasional episode of TWO AND A HALF MEN. Oh, and THE DAILY SHOW. And THE COLBERT REPORT.

Books:

Too many favorites to list, but I hope you'll check out my dark paranormal novels with Bantam Dell: KISS OF MIDNIGHT, KISS OF CRIMSON, MIDNIGHT AWAKENING (Dec '07), MIDNIGHT RISING (Apr '08), and all the rest still to come!

Heroes:

Anyone who tries to make the world a better place for all, not just for themselves. Be a hero! Share some hope and kindness with your fellow man (and animals):ModestNeeds.org

Just stuff . . .

Oscars, anyone? I watched it last night, but since I haven't seen most of the nominated films (hello, deadlines!), it didn't seem as exciting of a show this time. But I do love Jon Stewart. ...
