- I design book covers and currently have my own shop on Etsy.
- I have never had a dinner and dancing date. (Yeah, I know; it’s sad.)
- I'm barely five feet tall, but numerous people have told me I'm intimidating. (I think my mouth has a lot to do with that!)
- I haven’t met my soulmate. I've been engaged twice, but common sense pulled me back from the edge.
- I don't have children, but I do have have a cat. Her name is Temperance, and she is like my child.
- My friends are my family which is great because I have a HUGE extended family.
- I spend different holidays with different friends, and each year, I have three Christmases.

- My favorite movie of all time is Shining Through with Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith.

- I’m a big fan of costume jewelry and own enough to fill two jewelry armoires.
- I’ve refinished old furniture several times.
- I write every night, regardless of where I am. I've even written when I was in the hospital.
- My least favorite household chore is doing laundry, and I have enough clothes and linens to go at least three weeks without washing one load.
- I live close to the beach, but I rarely go because I burn so easily in the sun.
- I live just outside historical Charleston, South Carolina, and I love playing tourist in my city! I couldn't ever see myself living anywhere else.
- I’m a self-taught computer tech.
- I am addicted to pajamas, and, at last count, own 96 pairs.
- I have learned how to use many, many software programs because I can't stand not knowing how to use something I might need, i.e., Paintshop Pro, Adobe, and more.
- I’m addicted to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video and have been known to watch some of my favorite episodes over and over, especially shows like Chuck, Arrow, Alias, Charmed, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, NYPD Blue, and Friends.
- I have a HUGE fangirl crush on Dean Cain. He was the first Superman to me, and I’d probably faint if I ever met him in person. I have actually been in the same room with him when I went to one of his movie premieres in Atlanta at the Fox Theater. Fortunately, I didn't hyperventilate.
- I love 1970s and 1980s television like Barney Miller and Scarecrow and Mrs. King.
- I have a LARGE stash of notebooks and journals because every time I see one on sale, I can't resist buying it. I do use them, though.

- I don't like classical music...at all. And I've tried.
- I don't like bluegrass music. Heard it once and that was all it took.
- One of my favorite singers is Billy Ray Cyrus even though I'm not a big fan of country music. There's just something about his voice that I adore. I also love his gospel music as well.

- I hate old TV western movies (even the music bothers me) but love programs like Big Valley and Bonanza.
- The Sound of Music and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers are tied for my two favorite musicals.
- I want to visit every state in the United States. (I’m currently up to twenty-five.)
- I love reading young adult fantasy and paranormal books, especially series like Sarra Cannon's Shadow Demons, Christine Feehan's Dark Series, and Mary Janice Davidson's Undead Series.
- Before I had to leave my job, I was a paralegal for close to twenty-five years so I sometimes laugh at the legal mistakes on courtroom and crime shows as well as the timeline that seems to go at lightning fast speeds. I especially get a chuckle when a lawyer yells at the judge, and nothing happens. In reality, heads would roll, possibly the lawyer's after the judge twisted it off.

- I will go to restaurants, movies, and foreign countries by myself.
- I have lived in Charleston, SC most of my life, but I still haven't seen every historic site or been to every restaurant. But those are on my bucket list.
