Here are a few things about me you may not know:

  1. I’m deathly afraid of monkeys. No animal should look that much like a human.
  2. I have a fiery passion for cotton candy. My husband once drove me to seven different stores looking for the stuff. We found it at Wal-Mart. I bought 12 bags.
  3. My hair is naturally curly…and I hot iron the heck out of it. Dear Mother Nature, I do not prefer you.
  4. My husband is the coolest guy in the world. I love his face. So much so that I want to punch it sometimes. Just kidding, baby. Kisses.
  5. I take a glass of water with me everywhere I go. I also dump it out and refill it for no reason at least five times a day.
  6. I like old, creepy-looking trees so much that I actually house-hunted by scouting streets with the best ones.
  7. Music. If it’s not loud and angry, I want no part of it.
  8. I don’t drink coffee. “But you’re a writer!” I know, it’s blasphemous.
  9. My favorite movie is What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams.
  10. I was a cheerleader in high school. Like a hard-core competitive cheerleader you see on ESPN(2).
  11. It upsets me when YA books feature mean cheerleaders.
  12. My favorite color is yellow. I don’t feel like it gets near enough street-cred.
  13. I can twirl a baton like nobody’s business.
  14. Movies with giant, robotic aliens scare me to my core. It could happen. I just know it.

Thanks so much for reading. If you made it all the way through my list and still want to buy my books, I heart you so much! 🙂
