About Me

Describe Yourself:

(batting my eyelashes) Well . . . there's not much to say, really. Since winning the Miss Texas pageant, I travel, volunteer at homeless shelters, and dream of world peace.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

An editor to see my work, faint in shock at the genius of it, and then sign me for a three-book deal ASAP!

Interests

Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:

Anything but country. Especially like Metallica's Black album. But also listen to Billie Holiday, Keane, Lyn Skyn, Nina Simone (when I'm writing), AC/DC, Mozart and Bach and Brahms (when I'm writing), and movie soundtracks. Ever heard the soundtrack from The Elephant Man? The old movie? It's eerie. Going to listen to it the next time I write a thriller story.
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:

So many. Won't choose., Again, don't make me choose. We'll be here all day.
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:

Slasher flicks (Halloween, Evil Dead, Re-Animator, etc), Final Destination (all volumes), House of 1000 Corpses, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. **You get the idea. Also love A & E's version of Pride and Prejudice
Favorite TV Shows, Actors:

King of the Hill, Family Guy, Scrubs

Hey Lea, haven't heard from you in a while so I thought I'd drop in to say hello.
I guess the weather at your house is about the same as it is at mine to day...pop up storm threats.
I see here on this comment below that you are from Louisiana. Me too!
And...we both ended up here. I too miss the great tasting foods of the southern coast.
I'm glad I still have family there to bring up the spices and fresh catches.
I like to cook when I have all the fixins ( a word I'm sure you have heard before)

Mariana, My family was from southwest Louisiana -along the Gulf Coast. I can't recall the parish name. We moved to southeast TX (also along the G. Coast) when I was young.

I miss fresh crab stew, gumbo, and shrimp! :-(

Hi, Beej! Yes, hail, hitting my bedroom window awoke me this morning. NOT my idea of a cheery day. I am looking forward to spring gardening (well, container gardening anyway). You?

I DO frequent Barnes & Noble's cafe. I write, type, and drink. LOL. If ya see a short, cajun woman writing, stop over and we'll visit.

Do you ever go to Arsagas? Goooood coffee.

Hey Lea, what do ya think about this cold wet day? forecast calls for icy roads in the morning. I still love being here in NWA though if we wait a minute it will change right?

Hello Lea, I happened upon one of your articles in a search and it wasn't until after words that I discovered another common factor between us. Looks like we live in the same neck of the woods.(NWA) I think I might have met you by way of Barns & Noble. Maybe not but still, I enjoyed your articles and profile. I'll check back in for more good reading.-Beej

I just noticed in your profile where it says you were "born in an air force hospital on a Florida Beach." Coincidentally, so were my older sister and brother. Could it be Eglin at Fort Walton, by any chance? ~kate
