I am married and have a 10-year old stepson. I am a Social Work Assistant Director by day and a Community College Psychology Instructor by night, so I'm busy almost all the time.
I love to hike, travel, read and sing loudly and badly (well, I'd like to sing well, but unfortunately that is not a gift of mine) :lol
My favorite reads are Sci-Fi, Sci-Fi, Sci-Fi, a dash of Fantasy and an occasional foray into the Classics.
I'm enjoying snooping into everyone's "to read" lists!

I'm Hillary, or Kiana at Tar Valon. I'm married to James, have been for almost 6 years now (next month in May!), no kids, two cats, and living overseas in Sasebo, Japan due to my husband's job with the US Navy.
I work at the Fleet and Family Support Center on base as the clinical education services facilitator and Ombudsman coordinator. All that really means is that I build programs, teach/facilitate (dependent upon the program), market, and provide quality assurance for all clinical programs and materials. I specialize in two major fields: lifeskills education (stress/anger management, goal-setting, team-building, suicide prevention, etc.) and the Navy's Ombudsman program. It's a fun job, but I'm always busy!
We love karaoke, and Japan is the perfect place for it! The new cho I just moved into actually has a karaoke bar at the end of the driveway, so we can go as often as our hearts desire (and right across from it is a Hokka Hokka Tei for fast food and a chocolate truffle house). We love to travel, we hike, we play games (board, card, video--you name it), and a little of everything else!
Fun stuff!

I work in computer retail as a lead cashier for a well-known computer company. Being subtle, see?
Mostly, I read fantasy, and lots of it. But very slowly. Knitting seems to take up much of the time I used to spend reading.
Just don't call me Madame Defarge. :|

I read fantasy/sci fi right now, but will pretty much read anything if it suits my fancy.


I usually only read fantasy but I've been known to branch out with certain authors in other genre's.

I'm Clint. My profile covers all the bio junk. I'm currently pretty excited about the prospect of a posthumous book 12. I've been a big Mat Cauthon fan from the beginning, and I've been jonesing for a showdown with the Aelfinn and Eeilfinn, creepy buggers!
Glad to meet y'all.
Welcome Clint! I'm also a Mat fan. He's just such a lovable guy! And the whole thing with Tuon is a match made in writer's heaven. I hope we aren't all left hanging on that story line. I fear we're going to be left so on some as there are just too many, IMHO, to wrap them all up.

I'm a single parent of a college-aged son and currently live in NY but maybe not for long!
Looking forward to finding out about what books everyone else is reading so I can add more titles to my "to read" list!
