About me:
Born and raised in Canada, moved to Oz for love (which is working amazingly well) and have an unquenchable passion for writing. I have written two childrens books, and am looking for a publisher, am working on a cook book and a book of the lessons life has taught me so far.
My claim to fame: www.filmgorilla.com is my film review blog. Have a look!

What I like to read:

Fiction: Crime, Historical Fiction, Literary, Mystery, Religious/Inspirational, Sci Fi/Fantasy

Non-Fiction: Body, Mind & Spirit, Cooking, Food & Wine, History, Reference, Religion, Travel, True Crime
Favorite books:
Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsoliver; Wicked by Gregory Maguire; The Inheritence Trilogy by Christopher Paolini; The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkein; Cleopatra by Margaret George; and sooo many more!
What I'm reading now:
Dexter in the Dark - No Peace for the Wicked by Jeff Lindsay
Favorite place to read:
In bed, before I go to sleep.
My other writing:
an introductory cook book and a collection of life's lessons before 30. And I am embarrased to admit that I am also working on a grocery store romance novel... almost entirely for the money though. It is not my life's ambition.
What I like to write:

Fiction: Children's, Religious/Inspirational

Non-Fiction: Cooking, Food & Wine, Reference, Religion, Self-Help, Travel
Character I'd like to be for a day:
Cleopatra because she was awesome. She ruled an entire empire and had everyone under her control. Plus she had marriages to both Julius Caesar and Marc Antony... how great would it be to meet them???
Favorite authors:
Wilbur Smith, Margaret George, Philipa Gregory, Lian Hearn, Jeffrey Deaver... all make great, entertaining, read over and over stories.
