About Me

I am a published author, background actor, video editor, test driver, shade tree mechanic, serious tea drinker, former flautist, costume/clothing/jewelry designer for myself, antique doll hobbyist, former stagehand and self-styled weirdo. I've been in movies and television shows such as Serenity, Spiderman 2, Entourage, Angel, West Wing, Desperate Housewives, and have danced the Cancan while dressed as Leeloo from The Fifth Element.

My first urban fantasy novel, OTHERNESS: RIFT is now available. It keeps getting great reviews--including a couple 5s--so apparently, it's awesome...if you like urban fantasy with a twist of history and magic. Visit my website to check it out...

My Interests

CARS! I have lots of and love cars and work on them, too. I also dig British (especially Welsh) history, antique dolls, the paranormal (I'm a sensitive), sewing, yoga and tea (preferably oolong or green).

I'd like to meet:

Funky, smart, forward-thinking people who aren't afraid of being near the edge of anything.

Music:

When I write, I listen to Enigma, Delirium and a few other random songs tossed in for good measure and emotion. When I'm just hangin', I listen to anything from car tunes to 70s rock to anything 80s to to New Age to Blues to Metal to Celtic (fun to learn a little Welsh and Gaelic this way). Basically, I like music without dissonance be that in the music itself or in the lyrics if there are any. Over the years, I've noticed that I particularly enjoy songs in a minor key. I also most enjoy songs about reaching, searching, yearning for something. I dunno what that says about me, but it's true.

Movies:

Lost Boys and anything related to it.

Television:

Torchwood, Dr. Who, Extras, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Heroes, Angel, Highlander, Ghost Hunters, Haunting Evidence, Dead Famous, Knight Rider, Kolchak: The Night Stalker

Heroes:

All the women who have come before me and made it easier for me to be a little girl in a man's world.

Visiting Grandma

I still shudder thinking about these particular experiences.First off, let me just say that I appear to be the only sensitive in my family. If anyone else is sensitive, they never spoke about it. Agai...

Me and the ghost... Part Two

Okay, I've already shared the beginning of this story--the icky thing in the creepy storage room where I did lighting for a week-long symposium. Now, I'm going to get into the stuff I really don't tal...

Little things and part one of a big one

I've covered the stories I usually tell whenever someone asks if I believe in ghosts or why do I believe in ghosts or if they straight out ask me to tell them one of my ghost experiences. If you misse...

The Lady Ghost

Okay, I've covered all of the physical senses with at least one story or anecdote. This next story starts in the physical and ends in the psychic. I haven't made heads or tails of it completely, so pe...

Another interjection

Before I get into some of the bigger stories, I do want to clarify that while I consider myself a sensitive, I'm also able to separate that sense from my others. I don't claim to have any incredible a...

What does the future hold? I have NO idea...

In earlier posts, I've explained that I'm sensitive to paranormal activity. I'm psychic, however, I don't get many premonitions whether in the form of feelings or even prophetic dreams. I simply suck ...

Through the eyes of me as a little girl

I’ve mentioned scent, audio and touch. Now, I come to sight. Due to my sensitivity, I’ve psychically seen a lot. However, there have been a few things I saw with my naked eye without using...

Touch me, Tex

I’ve already covered a few of my paranormal experiences with audio and scent...which leads me to touch. I haven’t experienced a whole lot of touch that I can attribute to supernatural occu...

Interjection about where I stand

All right, I’ve opened my can of worms and started posting some of my experiences with the paranormal. I feel it necessary to add one thing:I am not a professional ghost hunter (yet). I’m ...
