*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!

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)
