Teaching! I loved interacting with 7- to 10-year-olds. They were so much fun.

Too many to name! Event Horizon had me on the edge of my seat. I love how The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare infused humor into a high-stakes mission based on true events. I recently watched Mercy and loved that too. Currently hooked on The Terminal List.

It's impossible to pick just one! I grew up loving books by Christopher Pike, Linda Howard, Sandra Brown, Judith McNaught, and Sidney Sheldon, to name a few. These days, I start by reading up on something and end up three rabbit holes deep.

Google is my best friend.

I love the variety! One minute I'm writing about dentistry, the next I'm learning about electrical systems, luxury furniture, or IV therapy.

Using floppy disks and waiting for the modem to dial and finally connect to the Internet! That dial-up sound is etched into my memory.

My family, especially my kids. They're why I work hard. I hope to give them as many opportunities and experiences as I can.

Does a woodlouse community count? Mine is thriving! I love watching them curl into tiny little balls.

Right now, "Touch of Heaven." The acoustic version sung by Aodhán King is on repeat.

Nowhere I'd consider exotic. I love Hokkaido, Japan, though. It's a place I can happily return to again and again.
