    Occupation: Freelance Writer
    Interested In: Fiction, Non Fiction, Children's, Other
    About Me: I live in the Santa Cruz mountains in Northern California, close enough to town for a good cup of tea, but far enough out that our nearest neighbor is two acres away. I write, read, and try to run/walk for exercise. I never have enough bookshelf space, ever.
    What I Write: I write fiction and nonfiction for children, as well as nonfiction for adults. I also write book reviews and freelance articles for newspapers and magazines. I'm currently revising a middle-grade mystery for kids.
    Credits & Accomplishments: I'm currently writing a book for Writer's Digest, The Writing Group Survival Guide, due out January, 2010.
    Hobbies I never know what to do with this space. I write and I read. I spend lots of time with my friends and family. And I don't think I'm as boring as that sounds.
    Music: I love electric blues guitar, like B.B. King. I also listen to a lot of folk music and motown. I'm always trying to find music that I can write to.
    Favorite Movies: The Truth about Cats and Dogs, Miss Congeniality
    Favorite Television Shows: M*A*S*H, Northern Exposure, Heroes, The Dresden Files.
    Favorite Books & Authors: Too many to list and changing every week. Top of the list at this moment: The True Meaning of Smekday, by Adam Rex.
    Heroes: The people I know personally who treat others well, make strong choices, and go after what they want in life.

    Thanks Becky ;)

    Oh I talk big but I never toss anything, My garage has a corner with a stack of half started (or finished depending on your perspective)canvasses, and I have hard drives full of partial pieces of digital art.

    I am going to spend the weekend poking around the site - really looking forward to seeing all it has to offer and meeting people.
