Profile Information
- Are you an Author, Reader, Publisher, Editor, Agent or Other?
- I am a book reviewer. I have been astounded at the speed at which I have been able to network with authors, publishers and other industry insiders. I have been really lucky in the contacts that I have made in such a short time, and I hope to continue building a solid network.
- Do You Have A Website?

I am also a member of BookBlogs by Ning as well as LibraryThing
- About Me:
- Like I said before, I am currenly working at home as a book reviewer. I would like to think that I have the potential to someday author books instead of just critiquing the work of those who do, but we shall see, no?
- Do you have a blog site?
- http://horrorandfantasybookreview.blogspot.com/
- Favorite Books:
- My favorite series are the Anita Blake and Merry Gentry books by Laurell K Hamilton. I also love Bentley Little and Dean Koontz. Never did get into King. Too pretentious; I don't need to read every thought that occurred to you while you were writing this novel. Sorry. I also love Richard Matheson, but my favorite of his books is Bid Time Return, not one of his horror novels.
- Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace
- I am a Barnes and Noble girl at heart. Walking into their vestibule and getting smacked with the smell of books and coffee is my little slice of heaven. On-line, though, I stick to Amazon. Their site loads faster and they have better deals...

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Fiery Roses didn’t start as a sequel. Having brought A Band of Roses to a happily-ever-after conclusion, I envisioned my second book as something different, a story based on the horrors of raging, out of control flames. When I was eight, such an inf…

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
