1. What two gifts would you like for yourself?

I would love to have a Claddagh family ring. What else? Peace of mind, I guess.

2. What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?

My hobbies are reading, writing and swimming. Reading is relaxing as well as entertaining. I love a well developed plot and rich characters. Swimming is also very relaxing. There is something soothing about being in the water...and it sure is a painless form of exercise. As for writing...that's hard to explain. I just have to write. I can't not write.

Love and disaster

4. If you were going to be stranded on a desert island, what two items would you want in your pockets?

A box of kitchen matches (to make fire) and a knife.

5. What two books have changed your life?

One of them is To Kill A Mockingbird. When I read it, I was shocked at how people of color were treated. I'd had no idea--this was not something taught in American history in the late 1960s. After Dr. King died, I was aware of anger in the black community but I really didn't "get" it...not until I read that book. As for how it changed my life...from that point, I wanted to see people just as people, not as races and religions and sexual orientations. The other book that changed me was A Tree Grows In Brooklyn and that was because I identified so strongly with the young Francie. She had to be a little adult before she was done with childhood. She had an alcoholic father and a cold mother to deal with. I think it helped me realize that there are other people out there who suffer...but they still succeed.
