|   | Gender: | Female | | Birthday: | February 23 | | Location: | I am a Florida, USA Native--A rare breed. | | About Me: | I have written all my life. As an adult, I worked for a while for a newspaper. I did write the first draft of a novel. The only copy was destroyed in a house fire. Let that be a warning to keep a copy safe--like here on WDC.
Then the kids came along...
I didn't start really writing again until the kids were grown.
I am currently working on a YA Fantasy novel, that isn't quite ready to show here on the website . . . but, soon. | | Type of Writer: | I'm a NOP (no outline person). I just know the ending and write everything that makes the ending happen. I write every day. | | Writing Style: | I am more interested in characterization than in scenery in a story. What kind of style of writer that makes me, you decide! | | Interests: | Like most writers, I am interested in everything. Crafts. Antique cars.
I love children so much we have 7 of them. I love to travel. I have a spoiled Shih Tzu named Razzle. Oh yeah, I also have a new husband who keeps me straight. | | Website / Homepage: | Don't have one other than http://Writing.Com/authors/shirlene | | My Blog: | I don't have one of those either | | Favorite Link: | http://www.writing.com/ | | Favorite Link: | http://www.facebook.com | | Favorite Link: | http://www.amazon.com | | Favorite Genres: | Fantasy, Sci-fi, some Romance--nothing explicit, thanks, Historical/gothic, paranormal, YA, Mystery, Western | | Favorite Books: | Morning Glory, Twilight Saga, Harry Potter series, De Vinci Code, Vampire for hire by JR Rain, The Vampire LeStat by Anne Rice (anything she writes, actually),

I lived by this when things got tough raising 4 boys as a single mom...It was so worth it, too! | | Favorite Music: | Some of everything. Literally. From Metalica to Yanni. My latest greatest fav is Usher and Muse. I'm listening right now to the soundtrack from Twilight saga. That mix pretty well sums up the diversity I like. | | Favorite Movies: | Twilight Saga, Beastly, The Sorcer's Apprentice with Nicholas Cage, The Last Air Bender with Jackson Rathbone, Avatar, The fifth Element, The X-Files--I want to Believe, Any Star Trek Movie or series.
