I live just west of Orlando with my family, where life is a mash-up of parenting, gardening (or at least trying), cooking, and writing my new book series. I seek healthy balance in my spiritual, mental, and physical aspects, which is to say I do consume dessert a couple times a day, but I also eat lots of fruit.
I appreciate books full of humor, mystery, and diverse characters. I hope you do, too!

I have about thirty books on my kindle ready to be devoured (or at least sampled and pushed aside) and who knows how many may be added to it by the time summer officially begins.
So much of my life is directed by lists. I prefer to handle books the way I do clothes: have a stockpile of potentials around and pick out the one that suits my fancy on a given day. If I get into it and decide it isn't what I wanted, I put it back for later or even get rid of it if it fits that badly.(less)

Jail and Rima in the Kergulen series are my favorite couple because they don't live for romance and they're great together in so many ways, but aside from my own books, my favorite couple is probably from the movie 'Undercover Blues'. It's a goofy old movie, but I love how they are passionate about each other and at the same time have a great time being parents and crazy kick-butt agents. I think they might have inspired my writing a little bit, even though I haven't seen that movie in forever.(less)

Quotes by R.A. White  (?)

“You don't need a sex scene to have romance! My favorite kind of romance is the understated tension of unconfessed (and certainly unconsumated) love. I think it's always more addicting to read about people who I wish would get together than to read about people who already 'been there done that'.”

Ah, well, I like romance in small doses as long as it isn't the point of the story, so as a sideline I guess you could say. I follow that group with varying loyalty because I'm interested in books and issues involving people of color, and a lot tends to come up in there.

Pygmy Thanks for the friend request! I thought I was the only oddball being in a romance group when I usually dislike most of the romance books I read. But it's not that I dislike romance-- I love it! But somehow, I'm so picky about what I like that it just doesn't jive with most of what is written!
