I love reading books as much as I love writing them. I enjoy drinking all sorts of teas and eating dark chocolate. When I need a trip back down to earth, I watch Seinfeld for comedy relief in this serious world. I'm a kid at heart that still enjoys receiving stuffed animals as gifts. I'm a Star Wars fan with the Nightmare Before Christmas as my theme music.

Howdy! How has everyone’s new year started off? Mine (Brrrr…): Experienced snow in the lovely state of North Carolina towards the end of January.

(ROAR) 😉 Tune in for an update on this year’s book projects (coming soon, I promise!) Feel free … Continue reading ROAR: HAPPY YEAR OF THE TIGER
