Tell us about yourself. Where were you raised? What’s your family
like? Where do you live?

My family emigrated from Lebanon. We lived for awhile in New York, but then my dad found a quiet little town called Eden’s Crossing and moved there. I married a wonderful man called Ethan West, but Ethan died a few months after our baby girl, Jo, was born. I’ve saved some money and bought a duplex, and that’s where Jo and I live.

What are your short and long term goals? What do you want out of life?
My short term goals are to renovate my half of the duplex and rent the other half. Long term, I want to raise Jo so that Ethan would be proud of her.

What’s your most embarrassing moment?
I fell off a riser during a chorus concert in high school.

Biggest regret?
The death of my husband.

Every been convicted of a crime?
No.

If you could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be
and why?
I’d like to tell Ethan not to worry about Jo.

Are you single? Married? Looking?

I’m single, but I’m too busy to hunt a man.

What’s your ideal mate like?
Like my husband, kind, tender, sexy, and funny.

Tell us a secret. What’s something others might not know about you?
I once dreamed of entering the Miss America contest.

Do you have a nickname?
No, but I call my daughter, sweet pea.

Any pet peeves?
Yes, people who are cruel to animals.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why?
I don’t want to change anything about myself. I have my precious daughter, and that’s blessing enough for anyone.

Any pets?
No.

How about allergies?
No.

Do you support any charities?
Yes, each year my company raises money for cancer research, and I participate in that.

Is the glass half full or half empty?

Depends on when you ask me, but mostly half full.

I’m back… my poor neglected journal.  It’s been a tiresome few weeks. We desperately need rain here and the forrest fires down south are making the air unbreathable. It’s hot, icky, and smokey here and I spend every free second praying for rain. Sad isn’t it?

I’ve got some awesome new flip flops to add to the growing collection. And I’ve got lots of interviews to post too.

I’m hanging out over at  Dark Ice Goddess’ Musings this week. Great name, btw. Musings are good.   Come say hello to me and my fellow CP authors. Slow Burn was featured on Monday.  And just for the heck of it, I’m giving away a copy of Slow Burn to a lucky newsletter subscriber. So subscribe and win!
