I like writing

About Me

I like to write when I have the time. I really love spending time with my new husband. He is great. We both are from the North and we are both October babies. We spend time outside by the fire and playing with the dogs, our kids.

My Interests

Writing is my first love. My book, Living Nightmares of Abuse, was released January 30th 2005. I am currently writing a fiction fantasy. If I am not working on my new book, I am usually writing articles to publish on the Internet. I like to read good books, mostly non-fiction but have been known to read other genre. I enjoy spending time playing ball with my dogs outside or cooking on the fire pit.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people who share some of the same interest as I do but also just friendly down to earth.I don't like to be around negitive people and won't! Life is to short to waste it on griping and whining. Get off your butt and make it happen.

Music:

I like all types of music. One of my favorites, Booker T. and the MG's. I listen to music depending on my mood, what suits me best.

Movies:

I don't watch many movies unless they are on TV. I am far to busy most of the time with other things going on to watch TV. I like movies about animals, mostly dogs.

Television:

I like The Food channel, or good family movies.

Books:

My book can be purchased from PublishAmerica for $16.95. Purchase my book .. at PublishAmerica.com You can also purchase my book at Amazon.Other books that I have read: Bastard out of Carolina, Mackenzie's Mountain, Our Town, Childhood Lost by Dalles McKinsey. After reading Dalles's book, I wanted to scream. A book that you will want to read. Also recently, I finished MALLEY & ME by John Crogan. If you are a dog lover like I am, you will want to read this book. It is funny, sad and sure you can relate to some of the events that take place. I just recently finished reading "The 3rd Covenant" by David Brollier. It is a wonderful detective, suspenceful, Christian novel. I enjoyed every minute of reading it.

Heroes:

My heroes are those who take the time out of their lives to do for others. Give to the ones who need it most wheather you are able or not. You will get paid back in one form or another. Helping those who need help, if it be a ride to the store or just sitting to talk for company.Those people are the real heroes.
