Fun Facts

Hobbies

Singing in the shower (see above), playing lacrosse, and watching baking shows without any desire whatsoever to actually bake anything.

Most Exotic Place Visited

I don't get out much...Hollywood, CA?

What Shampoo Do You Use?

A bar of charcoal soap that was a gift from a dear friend. Didn't think I'd like it. I do.

Your Dream Car

To be honest, I'm happy with my little old SUV. It's decent, and it runs. If forced to choose (and money was no object), I'd either want something extremely fuel efficient or a totally tricked out zombie-fighting Jeep.

Favorite Sport

To play: lacrosse! I've been playing (badly) since 1988, and love getting out there to play. To watch: MMA, and World's Strongest Man.

Mountains or Beach? Why?

What, I can't enjoy both? Ok, if I MUST choose...give me mountains with forest. Back to nature. And maybe bears.

Pet Peeve

I'd rather focus on things that make me happy, like chocolate, pugs, and laughing so hard I nearly pass out.

Favorite Place to Write

I run a martial arts school, and I enjoy writing at my desk in my office.

Do You Listen to Music While Writing? What Kind?

I don't always listen to music when I write, but when I do, it's either smooth jazz instrumentals or new age instrumentals.

Favorite Character You Created

My favorite character is probably Gart, from my epic fantasy books. He's a surly but good hearted Mage.
