And now for the 7 things you might not know about me:
1. I like cats--kittens are even more fun.
2. I am a harpist and I teach harp lessons.
3. Every morning after I get the children off to school, I go for a walk. (At least, that's always the goal)
4. I hate spiders. HATE.
5. Due to moves in my childhood, I attended 9 different schools.

6. I love cheesecake just as much as I love chocolate--chocolate cheesecake is even better.

7. Currently I'm juggling: a YA dystopian, a YA historical paranormal, and book 3 of my Rogue Hearts Regency series, plotting a new Regency.

Did you learn anything about me or did you already know all that? Any of that relate to you?
