I'm a mom, wife to a retired Marine, former professional volunteer (have a cause, will work to solve it for free) and avid reader of all things mystery. I do love a good one! Cozies are my favorites, but I've enjoyed others as well.
When I'm not reading, I'm trying to write. Anything to keep from cleaning my house, but the attacking killer dust rhinos are getting out of control, so it has to be done at some point. Of course, I'm still trying to figure out why it MUST be done by ME.
Apart from the husband and the kid unit (pet name for the kid unit), we have a 68 lb golden retriever who won't believe me when I tell her she is NOT a lapdog.
We live near the beach in NC--right where the Marine Corps dumped us. It's not a McMansion, but it is home, and to be perfectly honest, the dust rhinos are starting to grow on me. Wonder if they'd mind paying rent?
I Am A:
Reader, Writer
Books And Authors I Like:
I'm always finding new 'favorites', but those I read most often are:
Margaret Maron, Carolyn Hart, Janet Evanovich, JD Robb (love that Roarke), Joan Hess, Diane Mott Davidson, among others. Some newly discovered favorites include: Laura Durham, Casey Daniels and Elaine Viets.
A recent favorite of mine is Austin S. Camacho. His BLOOD AND BONE thrilled me from cover to cover!
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
Like my books, the TV I watch is crime related as well. NCIS, Law and Order SVU, CSI (original and Miami versions) top the list. I'm also addicted to Survivor, Heroes and Medium. I let a good comedy sneak in every now and again, but CourtTV has my attention as often as any network.
WOW..is this a friendly site or what? Haven't been on here more than 30 minutes and have 3 new friends already! Shoot, I could even end up popular!! Sure beats high school to death! LOL
Yeah! This is a blast. So far, so good..of course the kid unit wants her own page too--not thinking that's gonna happen anytime soon...but stranger things have, so ya never know.
Hi Laine! I love your relaxing page, and love your lab. I have a girl Boxer that thinks she's a lap dog, too. Your profile is great! It's so delightful!
Hi Lanie, So nice to meet another Tarheel here. I envy you the beach location. I love the coast and spend as much time there as I can. I like your page too. When I get caught up, I'm going to see what I can do with mine. I tried to put some photos, but they didn't take. It takes about all the computer skills I have to log on -- much less do anything when I get there.
Hi Laine,
thanks for the chatter. (I would never do that to one of my own!! But it is funny) If you want to read the reason for my new and perhaps improved persona, check out the writersplot blog today,www.writersplot.typepad.com) Or not. Don't want to be accused of spamming!! :-)
You can't get moon pies around here, so I once ordered a whole case online! The problem was, we couldn't stop eating them. It was dangerous having so many around.
Hi,
Thanks for visiting my page-it was fun to set up. I appreciate your kind words and I agree I'm very happy to be in familiar company. Loved your story on Crime and Suspense. I need to not be a wuss and get something posted on that site, too!
Hugs to you, too!
