I own eight white doves, and two fancy pigeons and no ducks. I have been a psychic, a banker, and a camping goods salesperson. I am a belly dancer and a flute player in a band. I am a Reiki Master Healer, an former ordained practitioner of Tibetan Zog Chen, and hold several empowerments. I've been a Wiccan priestess, a jewelry maker, a gold miner, a rock hound, a palmist, a cartoonist, a poet, a singer in a church choir, and I have polished stones by hand. I speak several languages up to a point, and have been a member of ISKCON (krishna cult). I believe that my experiences add realism to the characters daily actions because I have been and done so many things.

When I am depressed, I go out to one of my huge walk-in bird cages and hold seed in my hand, pretending I am Snow White, and the doves land on me to say hi. It really helps cheer me up.

I am mostly a vegetarian. I eat fish and turkey sometimes, so don't tell that to the birds. I have not eaten beef or pork in 10 years. Not even one bite.

First book: "Allure of the Mask" is a romance novel, with a slice or two of lemon.

My idol is Jeanelle Dennison. She rocks. And rolls. I love her. She writes sex like a fiend, smut like a bouquet of chocolate roses and personalities like a psychiatrist. She's grand.

Second Book: Undine's Heart, is done. AKA Soul of a Prince

Third Book: Nemue's Curse, is begun. (On hold due to the real life death of two family members.)

Silver Cross is being rewritten, but it is complete. Read Allure first.

I'm Emo and unpredictable as an artist sometimes.

I have been married to my husband for over 17 years. I'm a pleasantly plump, hot, long haired blond nerd girl. I have enough costumes to change 3 times a day at comicon, and that means a lot of sewing.

Yes, I'm a nerd girl. I just repaired the broken screen on my own PSP. I can build a computer and I carry a PDA. (An Ipaq, oldschool rz1955, not a blackberry...Blackberry isn't nerd anymore. It's bling.)
