In addition to teaching and writing, she has three sons, three dogs, and two cats. If she isn’t writing, you can find her at a band concert, a baseball game, or running an agility course with her beautiful Golden Retriever Cricket.


The holiday season is exciting, but it is also rife with annoyances and short tempers. So much to do and so little time to do it.

Monique M.L. wrote: I know exactly what you're talking about. I can't tell you how often I've escaped to a book just to get my mind off things.

Same here. I have read alot of books in my life, and some of the titles I don't remember and some I can't find on goodreads. But to tell you something, there were books that I read, and after finishing reading them, I felt even worse than before... "Never Let Me Go" both the novel and movie were both so depressing that I had to go to sleep to clear my mind. Harry Potter is a cool series for kids and teens who are experiencing some troubles at school, it definitely helped me and made me laugh, it was enjoyable. And I love how the author included symbols from mythology, celtic culture and so many legends.

Monique Thanks, I'm trying. It's a cute book, I won it in the goodreads giveaway. it's more of a light romance. It's about a uptight society girl that meets a playboy actor, whom she considers a nightmare, and so their friendship begins. I had a bad time lately so reading it was like a chocolate remedy to me :)

Your English looks excellent to me. You'll have to tell me if Love Doesn't Play turns out to be a good book. I don't mind a romance once in awhile.
