I'm a huge fan of women's fiction, memoir and authors in general. If I could have a day to myself, I would read,
write, and sleep. I don't care about TV but have recently been sucked into Sister Wives - I'd like a couple to do the laundry
and make the meals but NOT sleep with my husband. I do watch Glee and Raising Hope, and American Idol, and that new X Factor
has some appeal. Other than that, I gave up TV when I decided to write my first novel when my kids were little and I knew
something had to give. My children are very important to me. We recently made
a huge move from Illinois to Scottsdale, AZ, and it's been a little over a year, but the kids are settling in. Summers are
hard, but when the winter is here, we can all breathe a little easier. Blogging and writing are my outlet. I don't like to
shop. Hate shoes. Think heels and makeup and lots of jewelry on women says a lot about the woman. Not sure what, but something.
Authors on my top shelf: Emily Giffin, Jen Lancaster, Julie Buxbaum, Allison
Winn Scotch, Laura Dave, Sarah Pekkanen. Authors I have met in real life: Emily Giffin, Jennifer Weiner, Julie Buxbaum, Jen
Lancaster, Jess Riley, Trish Ryan, Maureen Lipinski, Stephanie Klein, Eileen Cook, Stacey Ballis, Kristina Riggle, Karen Doornebos,
Sloane Crosley, Elizabeth Berg. I would love to meet: Sarah Pekkanen, Rainbow Rowell, Laura Dave, AWS, Gwendolen Gross, Amy
Hatvany, David Whitehouse, Chad Kultgen, Wally Lamb, Megan Abbott. I know I forgot a ton of authors I've met and a ton of
authors I love, and a ton of authors I'd love to meet. I take medication for migraines and that makes me forget a lot of stuff,
and get sidetracked a lot. I miss living near Chicago because it was a great place
to go out and meet incredible authors. So that's a little bit about myself. I'm
sure this section will change often. Maybe as soon as tomorrow. Because I'm already bored with it.
