I am an avid reader. I love suspense Novels. My favorite authors can vary depending on my interests and/or the year. Recently I have read many of Dean Koontz's novels. I began reading Stuart Woods back in 1995, then started reading Dr. Robin Cook's Novels. I also have a collection of Mary Higgens Clark, and once in a while I will read one of Anne Rules true crime story books. I have 2 children. My daughter is a sophmore in HS and my son is in his senior yr. at RIT (Rochester, NY). My husband is a COOL computer geek, lol. He runs his own business. I attend college, and I am currenly working towards my bachelors in Liberal Arts with an emphasis on communications. I love to travel- but by car only... I have not over come my fear of flying yet! We own a male boston terrier and he is a character, which makes him even more fun. I am on a few forums, which tends to keep my mind preoccupied when I am bored or even feeling a bit blue. I have to admit, I have not read a recent novel. Its been almost 6 months since I have read, and that is not characteristic of me. I usually finish 7-8 novels per year, but keep in mind- I have alot of reading to do when it comes to my classes (grin), hence I would probably read more novels for pleasure. I love the ocean and hope to have a place right on the ocean before we retire!
