I love fiction. Sci Fi and fantasy are wonderful for me..to go new places. Historical fiction or non fiction takes me into the past, where I experience and see things that I am interested in.I love science, especially anything to do with anthropology and archaeology.I am published. Mostly magazine articles and advertising. I have written several books and have always got one or two more going on in my head. I have never attempted to publish those.I have so many favorite authors, I'm not sure where to begin. Modsitte, Rice, Hemingway, Dickens, Follett, McCafferty, Anthony, Potter, Jones, Diamond, Milne, Sanderson,etc. Sorry, the list is so big, I am getting overwhelmed just thinking about it. lol. I LOVE BOOKS!

An American living in England. Books are my first and most treasured love affair. As an awkward child who never felt like she fit in, books were my first friends.They got me into trouble the first time in my young life also, as I would refuse to take my library books back and would hide them. Everything a book offers is magical to me. I have read my favorite books hundreds of times. I even will read one and then start reading it again, straight away. The way an old book, or a new one smells. They way they feel in my hand..all the beautiful bindings..I'm sure it is the same for most here. To this day I am reading five different books and stay up to date on several scientific periodicals.I am an artist. I design historical and fantastical 3D paper homes, Christmas Decorations, such as mantelpiece centers, etc. etc. and sell those designs to crafters in the UK & the US. I am also the cover artist for a local magazine in Great Totham, England and enjoy that very very much. I have two children and a one year old grandson. I adore them equally. And finally..lol..I have dyslexia. Sometimes even spell check does not work for me. My mother read to me night after night, book after book, creating a love for books so passionate and so deep inside me, that it helped my dyslexia in many ways. I still suffer with numbers, and I still cannot really spell. But, I can read and do read, extremely fast, as I am sure others do here also. p.s. I talk too much..I go on & on. :)
