What do you read? I seem to read mostly paranormal romance or urban fantasy, though I’m also a big fan of excellent books period. :) If it’s good, it’s for me!

What do you want to write? I want to write what’s in my head. I’ve got so many things crowding up what little space is in there that I need an outlet. :)

What do you write? I want to write paranormal or urban fantasy. I also want to write a couple of contemporaries and maybe a historical or two. Even an erotica would be cool. :0

How do you feel when you write? I usually start out super excited about the story I’m starting, but soon get frustrated and annoyed because what’s in my head isn’t going on paper (or screen) like it should. Drives me batty. *sigh*

What are your strengths as a writer? I’ve been told I write great dialogue. I think I’m good at getting a character across.

What are your weaknesses as a writer? Plot and finishing anything I start. I’m a chronic over-editor.

Are you a fan or workshops and craft books for writers? I think Lynn Viehl is awesome because her site is so great for aspiring writers. She explains things in ways that my poor peabrain can understand.

Who is your favorite author? Why? I’m a big fan of Nora Roberts, Kresley Cole, Colleen Gleason, Nalini Singh, etc. etc. I think the reason why I like these authors so much is because they write characters that seem real, no matter how outlandish the plot may be. :)

What do you read? A little bit of everything. I used to be a hard-core romance reader, as in mainly Regencies, but now I’ve expanded to read just about everything from YA to paranormal – and yes, Regencies.

What do you want to write? I write whatever comes to me. Right now, I’m working on some things that might be considered paranormal, but I also have some that are mainstream, along the lines of Luanne Rice or Jodi Picoult.

What do you write? See above.

How do you feel when you write? Alive. Aside from my daughters, this is what I live for, get excited by.

What are your strengths as a writer? Actually, I have been told that I have a good voice, good characters and fine dialog.

What are your weaknesses as a writer? I think I need to brush up on descriptions – settings, characters, that kind of thing.

Are you a fan or workshops and craft books for writers? Oh, yeah.

Who is your favorite author? Why? I have too many to list! I like them all because they have an incredible way of viewing the world and putting that viewpoint in print. But if I had to narrow it down, right now I am in awe of Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling (although I haven’t personally read JK, seen the movies though) because these two women have done more for the literacy of our youth than RIF ever did. They single-handedly got children interested in reading again and for that, I thank them.
