Love to read and always have been that way from the time I was a little kid. I enjoy several different authors that I could re-read a million times over if I had the time to do it. I listed them below but I do have others that I read. I have alot of fun getting to browse the bookstores, library looking for new stuff to read and rediscovering old stuff.

I like to listen to a huge variety of music. There would be no way to list the artists individually but genre might be simpler. Some Pop, Classical, Rock, Celtic, Folk, New-Age, Ambient, Alternative, and so on goes the listing...

In my high school days I was a member for a time on the school paper. In college, I worked on the newspaper (writing, copy editing, photography) and yearbook (photography). I loved anything to do with history, lit classes and writing...I never objected to essay testing!

I am married with 6 kids, 3 dogs and a cat. We lived near Chicago (so totally middle of the US) in a rather cookie cutter subdivision in a totally cookie cutter "village" as they towns/cities prefer to label themselves. We moved in late May 2011 to Las Vegas Nevada area. Love it even in the heat I do not miss the humidity.

I think fanfiction is an amazing site. I like that so many people can create storylines from works of others. In the case of books that I have already read, I LOVE the new ideas that are brought to them through this medium. It amazes me the creativity to be found here.
