Just saying hello. Been browsing the forum without having been a member. So I thought I would finally just bite the frickin' bullet.

So umm, hello. How are you? I'm doing well.

A little about me. Female, wanna be writer, mom, wife, bestest girlfriend, wine hound, foodie and general all around smart ass. I can be cool but mostly I am goofy.

Stuff I read: sci-fi/fantasy, romance, contemporary, erotica/erotic romance, non-fiction humor/science stuff/the occasional bio, but mostly I like books that are written well with engaging memorable characters.

Stuff I write: all of the above except the bio cause I'm not really that interesting.

Thanks for the warm welcome, y'all.

Why does reading the board feel so different after signing up? lol Like I belong or something.

I do enjoy a wide variety of genres. I just like to read. It's one of my addictions. Like shoes. And purses. Oh and jackets. I think I got them all. lol
