About Me

If you can't tell from my new profile, I have an new addiction in the Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle manga and anime. I'll probably do some more work on this over the next few weeks so feel free to stop back and check it out!
For those of you that don't know, I have written two books (with a third in process). The Shadow Within is my debut novel about how ordinary high school senior, Jessie, meets an extraordinary new student with potentially deadly consequences.

About my friends and receiving friend requests. I am always happy to receive friend requests unless you are trying to sell me an iPod, big screen tv or even swamp land in Florida. If you are selling something (other than books) or are trying to get people to invest in online money making schemes please do not bother to send a friend request. Authors, if you send a friend request that I accept feel free to stick an advert in my comments, I don't mind, so long as it is appropriate for all audiences.
I'm so excited to be able to post the video for my book "The Shadow Within"! Hope you like it!
The first time I did this quiz about a month ago I was Sakura, not sure what changed...maybe I'm in a different mood.

My Interests

My family, my cats, lots and lots of reading, writing.

CLAMP BOYS LOL! The song is pretty good too.

I'd like to meet:

People who like to read and people with similar interests.

Music:


I'll listen to anything from Bach to Linkin Park (just no opera)

Movies:

I love movies! Especially the Harry Potter ones. all the Star Wars movies, Pirates of the Caribbean

Television:

I have to admit to a new obsession :-) Over the last few months I've been reading tons of manga and have made the natural progression to anime. Up until now I've mostly just watched Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! with my son, but now I am really trying to expand my horizons. I love the Clamp based anime like Chobits, Cardcaptor Sakura, xxxHolic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (obviously). I've also watched some episodes of Gravitation that I liked and am looking forward to watching Ouron High School Host Club that I have on order.

Here is a great fan vid for Tsubasa that I found. I don't usually go for rap music, but this went so well with the video and cracked me up.

If you're an X-Files fan, check out this great myspace X-Files group!

Books:

Love, love, love the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Her Majesty's Dog is an absolute obsession for me now as well!

Heroes:

Stephen Hawking because I would love to be able to understand quantum physics and I know I will never be able to.

Moving on from manga to anime

I'm not sure if I'm the only one that has this problem.  Sometimes, when I'm introduced to something new, I kind of lose all perspective and move right into obsession.  In the past it h...

Absolute Disgust

Personally, I try to go through life thinking the best of people.  Despite the fact that I'm 36 (at least for a couple weeks) I guess I'm still pretty naive. For instance, last month I got h...

I've been trying to create a book trailer for "The Shadow Within".  The most problematic part is finding decent music to go with the vid.  If anybody has some good sites to get/buy non-...
