I have an official bio posted below, but the unofficial
version of me is that I'm an avid reader--so avid the only
time I got in trouble in school was for unauthorized
reading behind my text books. I used to could walk and
read, hated to waste time that could be spend reading. As I
browse this site and others reading lists, I'm remembering
old favorites and it is way fun. You browse my shelf,
you'll find I'm a fan of Georgette Heyer, Elizabeth Cadell,
Mary Stewart, Jane Aiken Hodge, Alastair Mclean, Helen
McInnes and Elizabeth Peters. It was because of these
wonderful authors, that I started writing myself.
