: About Me

Ever since I picked up a David Eddings book, I've been a fantasy/sci-fi book fan. Along with all the Belgariad, Mallorean and the two follow-up books, I have Piers Anthony, Terry Brooks, Robert Lynn Asprin and Anne McCaffrey as the main content of my library. I also have the Chronicles of Narnia, along with only five of the Timekeeper paperbacks by Simon Hawke.
I would like to write a fantasy novel of my own one day, but am in no hurry. I am a mother of three and wife of a wonderful guy who knows a lot more about cars than I'll ever learn. I work part-time at a weekly newspaper typing copy, processing pictures and paginating. I've come to appreciate the non-pc computers at work and may try to save up for my own IMAC someday.
If I do get around to writing an article or more on this site, I hope you all enjoy and hope I can take any constructive criticism well. Thanks for reading about me!

I find that listening to music at work is comforting. I have worked without music and now that I have access to internet radio or personal choices from my own CDs downloaded, it's a much more pleasant atmosphere. What makes it even better is that my co-worker, who is maybe 10 years younger than I am, likes the same kind of music that I do, so I don't feel uncomfortable listening to a lot of 80's music. I try not to have it too loud, making it easier to listen and talk to others if needed. Of course, there are times when a good song comes on, and it's hard to resist not turning the volume u...
