I really don't have a favorite author, my tastes are pretty diverse as long as it's not Historical Fiction. But I did actually read a wonderful HF book by Cat winters this month and she is an excellent author!

7. Are you a pet person? If so, do you have any pets at home?

When my kids were small probably Christmas, but now it's Halloween. It marks the start of the holidays and really gets me in the mood for Fall/Winter and Punpkin Pie!

10. Tell a random fact or thing you would like us all to know.

I guess this kind of goes hand in hand with number 7. But I really do love animals and at one point in my life I thought about becoming a Vet but I'm too emotional and couldn't handle any animal suffering. If I were to win the lottery (good luck to me) or find a way to raise funds, my dream would be to own a huge ranch/estate and have a safe haven to take in unwanted or hurt animals and try to get them as many permanent homes as possible or keep them until they passed on their own. All kinds of animals.
