A few of my favorite things: My family and my dear, dear friends; My addictions/vices: Books; wine...white zin or pinot grigio; coffee...an every morning must have; popcorn What I do when I'm not writing: I read or I might be working at the local Starbucks, hanging out with the above-referenced friends and family; bicycling around my neighborhood; taking a nap. I'm originally from Southwest Missouri, but I grew up in a bunch of tiny towns in Illinois and Idaho before I arrived in Florida where I currently reside. Want to know more about me?
