*Where did your love for reading start? 

          My mother has been a librarian since I was a baby, so I was introduced to books immediately and have always loved reading.  When I was old enough to read myself, you could never find me without my nose in a book.

*What does the world of storytelling bring you? 

          Stories take me out of this world and into their world.  There is nothing better than getting lost in a good story.   

*Tell us about what you do for a living and what is your home life like? 

          Well I am disabled with severe chronic back, leg and feet pain.  I am a single mom to a 12 year old boy named Tommy, and a 14 year old girl named Kayla.  Kayla is living with her dad right now, and Tommy and I are living with my grandma who is 93 years old.  I help take care of her to the best of my ability.

*Do you write? 

          Yes I am a writer and I have a book of poetry out called A Heart’s Journey Through Poetry available at Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Hearts-Journey-Through-Poetry-ebook/dp/B00IFAZUES/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&qid=1402150222

*Do you blog or review? 

          Yes I am a blogger and a book reviewer.  I am on several review teams here on Facebook and my review list is massive, lol.  I have several blogs that I have neglected lately, but trying to get back to them.

*What are your passions in life? 

          My passion is being the best mother I can be to my children.  Next would be I have a very strong passion for reading and writing.  I also love to encourage people.  I am in a Facebook group where we write letters/notes of encouragement to single mothers in Uganda.  I just love it.

*Do you judge a book by it's cover. 

          Absolutely not

*At what point do you decide that the read is unbearable to continue and you abandon the book.

          If I am continuing to fall asleep while reading then that’s a good sign that I’m not going to finish it.  However there are very books that I don’t finish, especially being a reviewer.

*If you were living your ultimate dream life what would you be doing right now?

          I would love to be able to be a preschool teacher and a professional writer.  Those are my dreams.  I was a preschool teacher right out  of college.  But it made my back and legs bad by bending up and down so much.  Now my body is just a mess.

*What were you like as a teenager? 

          I was the good one, lol.  Sometimes I went out with my friends on the weekends, but mostly I wanted to stay home and read.  I am still that way to this day.

*Your favorite movies?

          The Fast and The Furious movies, The Transformer movies, Titanic, Country Strong, The Notebook…anything by Nicholas Sparks books that has been turned into a movie.  There are many others but can only think of these for now.

*Song crush at the moment?

          Wow this is a toughie as I listen to so many different types of music.  I guess it would be Florida Georgia Line with Nelly singing Cruise.  My favorite singer of all time is Bon Jovi!

*Series addiction right now?

          Jr Ward…The Black Dagger Brotherhood.  OMG!

*If you were elected world president what would be the first law you would enforce.

          Help the poor, it’s just so sad to see all the poor around the world.

*What elements would the perfect book house? 

          A book shelf in every room of course!

*Share a Selfie with us?

*Favorite fruit.

          White peaches

*What is the deciding factor for you when choosing your next read? 

          Right now it’s whatever someone sends me for a review, but if it was up to me…I look at reviews and blurbs.  If I know the author I will usually buy their books and put it on my TBR list.

*Are you a creative person? 

          I don’t think I’m creative, however I make my own bookmarks with my poems on them so…..

*What is your craziest moment? 

          Skinny dipping…um many times lol

*are you on pinterest, instagram, twitter?

Thank you Shannan Lee for your support, I'd like to know what books of mine you have not read yet?

          I have bought every one of your books on kindle, however I haven’t read any of them.  I am swamped by review books that people send to me, but I will read them in the near future (that’s my goal anyway)
