My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Doesn't every author want to meet Oprah??? Actually, I visited the Oprah Show when I was a communications major in college. I was 19 years old and determined to say something when she asked for audience feedback (remember, this was her early show format in the late 80s). It turns out the show was about dealing with the challenges of infertility! I didn't have any experience with that!!
