I'm a teacher full-time and writer part-time. I write in lots of genres, but erotica is my favorite because of the emotions and physical reactions that result from my words. My best friend, my sister, my hairstylist and my husband know that I write these stories, but no one else in my "real life" would believe it. I'm the sweet, innocent girl...on the surface, anyway. I've been accused of having a naughty streak, and I suppose that's true...but life wouldn't be nearly as fun without one of those, would it?

Interests
I love to run: 5K's, 10K's and half marathons (although I haven't run a half marathon in two years). I enjoy working out and have recently hired a personal trainer to kick my ass on a professional level!
I'm a shopping junkie (especially for jewelry and shoes), and I live to travel. My husband says I'm a hotel snob, but I can't help that I like high thread counts, feather pillows, and luxury toiletries in my bathroom. What girl doesn't?
I also love New York, manicures and pedicures, roller coasters, chocolate, strong biceps, Greek mythology, scallops, pink roses, swimming, labrador retrievers, Christmas, Disney World, coconut-scented lotion, hazelnut coffee, and summer vacation.

Favorite Books
Oh, so many. Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, The Great Gatsby, Huckleberry Finn, Pillars of the Earth, The DaVinci Code, Harry Potter series, Thursday Next series, Twilight series (yes, my guilty pleasure), Southern Vampire Mysteries (my other guilty pleasure), Great Expectations, The Hunger Games series, and 11/22/63.

Favorite Authors
Jane Austen, William Faulkner, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, Jasper Fforde, Stephen King, Suzanne Collins, Michael Crichton, John Grisham, Dan Brown

Favorite Movies
The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, Despicable Me, Titanic, Pretty Woman, Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and anything with Will Ferrell, Steve Martin, Ben Stiller or Adam Sandler in it.

Favorite Music
I like everything. Literally, everything. My running playlist on my ipod is heavily laced with Eminem, but it also has the Zac Brown band, a bunch of stuff from Glee, some old 80s rock (especially Van Halen and Bon Jovi), Jimmy Buffett, and a whole bunch of contemporary Top 40 pop...Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, Pink, Lady Antebellum, Hot Chelle Ray, Maroon Five, the Blackeyed Peas... I'm also a pianist and LOVE classical music.
