Let's see... when I was eight, I had a pet turkey. I used to take it with me on my very short-lived paper route. Needless to say, I was terrible at delivering the paper. No one wanted a "Dollar Saver" with turkey poop splattered across the front page. Apparently, that's where the best coupons are.
Books... well, "Treasure Island" is a fantastic pirate tale. I love just about anything by Roald Dahl, and who could ever leave out Tolkien? I would also like to thank C.S Lewis for sending me on an unrelenting childhood quest for portals to amazing worlds (even in the most unpleasant locations, e.g. the older brother's closet, etc.)
I write fantasy stories for children. Yep - proud fantasy geek here. It's pretty darn awesome to escape to another realm with sorcerers and wizards for a chunk of the day. The underlying theme in my stories is empowerment, self-love, and living purposefully.
When football is on I turn into a cookie-eating pottymouth. I have a theory that avocados are the Jedi of all foods. I also love anything prepared with garlic... which, according to my loved ones, has an unfortunate superpower.
Last random nugget… few things make me smile more than chocolate, cheese, and a good bottle of vino... AND, if the Chargers would make it to the Super Bowl again - just once:)
