I'm a full-time writer living in the South with my husband and our 5 very spoiled cats (4 of whom are named after Harry Potter characters). I am currently polishing my 82,000 word YA contemporary fantasy, PRODIGAL MAGGIE, in hopes of querying this spring.
I love dinosaurs, books, movies, pop music, and all things Harry Potter. I like to read, travel, hang out with family, see movies at the cheapest theatre in town, and play Rock Band. I am a proud supporter of the United States military.
My Must-Haves:
Inspiration: My Mama, my husband, my brother (an Army Infantryman who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan), JK Rowling, Queen Victoria, Princess Diana
Magazines: Martha Stewart Living, Entertainment Weekly, Reader's Digest
TV shows: Friends (all-time favorite), Castle, Jeopardy, The Soup
Music: Backstreet Boys (I will love them forever), Taylor Swift (her, too), Elton John, Nickelback, Brad Paisley, Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson, old-school Mariah Carey, Bryan Adams, No Doubt. No song makes me happier than Mmmbop, and 90s pop will forever hold a place in my heart, but I love almost anything that comes on the radio.
Movies: Good Will Hunting, The Notebook, the Harry Potters, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Titanic, Casablanca, The Patriot, Armageddon, Ten Things I Hate About You, The Dark Knight, Pineapple Express, Pretty Woman, Bridget Jones's Diary
Hogwarts house: Gryffindor is mighty tempting, but I'm Ravenclaw through-and-through, even if I am more Hermione than Luna, personality-wise.
