About Me


Click Here For Myspace Layouts !
Or Get Myspace CommentsI am a mom of 5, grammy to 4 girls, and wife to one. I am originally from Baltimore MD, but have lived in Montana for the past 8 years. I am disabled and not able to work outside of home. My career was that of a Police Dispatcher, and I was also an Auxiliary Police Sgt. I am an easy going person, just dont push my buttons. LOL I do not or will not put on airs for anyone. What you see is what you get. I'm just me. I made this page to connect readers with authors and vice versa. If an author can make me feel the story I'm reading then they have done what they set out to do. There are many, many wonderful authors out there who share their love of story telling and writing with us. As readers we are many too. When you get a room full of readers together there is always something to talk about.

My Interests

Books, reading, books, reading. hehe Family, friends. My pets. I have one cat and 5 birds. I like to do crafts like crocheting, plastic canvas and counted cross stitch. I am interested in the paranormal. I love ghosts and things that go bump in the night. I love forensic science and anything law enforcement oriented. My dream is to become a forensic pathologist/entomologist.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet my favorite authors and ones I havent yet added to my favorites. I also would like to hear from other readers. Even if you dont read, come join us anyway. One can never have too many friends. Each person brings something special to the relationship. I also would love to meet George Eads and William Petersen of CSI Las Vegas. That would make my day!

Music:

I like all sorts of music, but I want to be able to understand it. My main interest is country. Rascal Flatts, Kenney Chesney, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood. Actually way too many to list. I have also been known to rock out to Bon Jovi and Guns N Roses. Some Aerosmith. I also listen to what my kids are playing. Not fond of alot of it but some isnt too bad, like Hinder with his song Lips Of An Angel. I like oldies but goodies too.

Movies:

I LOVE horror movies. Every once in a while a movie like the Notebook or When A Man Loves A Woman. I also like any movies with Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson. Let's see, hmmm Tombstone, Wyatt Earp, Crimson Tide, A few Good Men, G I Jane, Full Metal Jacket, Must not forget An Officer And A Gentleman. Special thanks to Jill Gregory for remembering the title Courage Under Fire. All I could remember was it was a great movie. LOL Thanks Jill!

Television:

Ok I don't watch too much TV as I am either on the computer or reading, but I do have my favorite shows. First and foremost out of all is CSI (Las Vegas). Shark, Without A Trace, Court TV, Ghost Hunters, Weird Travels, Most Haunted, Forensic Files, Dr G Medical Examiner, Cold Case Files, once in a while COPS And some shows I watch with my kids and grandkids. Cartoons are great for a bit of mindless fun. Yay Tom and Jerry and Scooby Doo. Heheheh

Books:

I once thought this to be easy to answer, but not any more. I have so many favorites and there's always room for more. Way too many to list, but here's a sampling. Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Michael Laimo, Janet Evanovich(Stephanie Plum), Laurell K Hamilton (Anita Blake series)Clive Barker, R.L.Stine, Madalyn Alt, Anne Rice, Ann Rule, Oh the list just goes on forever. I had never found sci-fi/fantasy to my liking, but since I have such wonderful friends I have been very pleased with the suggestions I have received to try out. So you might say that now I read just about everything. As long as it is interesting I will read it.

Heroes:

My kids and grandkids. They have alot to deal with growing up. Way more then I had at their age. To all of you my friends, you give with your heart never expecting anything in return. I hope that I can be half the friend that you all are to me. And to all who lay their life on the line for us each and every day. Military, Law Enforcement (this does include Dispatchers and 911 Operators) and Fire Fighters. Thank you for keeping us safe.
