About Me
To me, the most interesting part of me is my writing. I'm also a mother, a nurse and a wife. I've been a paramedic, midwife, medical practice manager, medical billing account manager, and even dabbled in real estate appraisal for a time. I am a bringer of chaos, of change and growth, which is often painful and rewarding.
Type of Writer
I've written many genres, some for my eyes only, some for others. My comfort zone is fantasy adventure and short stories.
Writing Style
What can I say to that? It's like asking "What are you like?" My instincts always quip "...in relation to what?"
Interests
There is very little I find uninteresting. Literature, music, travel, languages, pets, business, health & wellness, mechanics, knitting, psychology, neuroscience, calculus, art, photography, cooking, calligraphy. Not into fashion or linguistics.
Favorite Books
My all time favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo. Elantris. Pride and Prejudice Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit, too. A Wrinkle in Time. The Belgariad and The Malloreon. Harry Potter. The Host. Midsummer Night's Dream.
