Too many freaks, not enough circuses!

About Me

Married in 2003, moved to Canada, have the cutest baby boy that anyone could ever hope for.I gave up power suits and heels for mommyhood and haven't looked back. For those who knew me back in school, I have decided to take Mrs. Absher's advice and write the Great American Novel. In Canada. Does that mean that it'll be worth 20% less?

Books:

Just about anything by Greg Iles, Linda Fairstein, Kelley Armstrong, Jilliane Hoffman, or Margaret Atwood.

My parents, Linda Fairstein, and Abigail Adams. I have also added the Dixie Chicks as one of my heroes. This may sound like silly fan-speak, but they have done more for the argument of free speech in the US lately than anyone. They're some of the few that can speak out against our current government and still come out on top, death threats notwithstanding!.. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --ColorQuiz.com code--
