About me

Occupation Mom, Wife, Screenwriter, Blogger, Human Being (which increasingly feels like a job with an overwhelming amount of responsibility)
Location Midwest, United States
Introduction I'm north of thirty, south of fifty and living dangerously close to the Ohio state line. I'm a mother of two children, the servant of two needy canines, wife to one devoted and thoughtful (and probably dissatisfied but too noble to acknowledge it) husband, and spent most of my so-called adult life writing for TV and films in L.A. (under a different name, so don't bother IMDbing or googling me... you'll just have to take my word for it, but I've got the psychic scars to prove it.)
Favorite Movies TELEVISION: Britain's incredible MI-5, The Wire, Dexter, Weeds, Californication, Entourage, Modern Family, Cougartown (way better than you expect it to be trust me!) Friday Night Lights (soooo not really about football) Fringe (sometimes just for the guy who plays Walter -- that guy needs an award) Battlestar Galactica (yeah it's gone now but Netflix it or something -- even if you hate sci-fi because it goes far beyond any genre definition; it is outstanding in every way). MOVIES: Cinema Paradiso (because it was the first movie I needed to see like 4 times and cried each and every time) Sixteen Candles Notting Hill About a Boy In the Loop (total and utter comic and verbal genius; I would give my left hand to write that kind of shrewdly observed and wickedly brilliant screenplay) and too many more to name at this moment but I'll get back to that later.
Favorite Music Classic new wave, punk, and predominantly angry white guy alt-rock and emo. (I am so lame).
Favorite Books (Too many to name right now, but these have impacted me tremendously): Incendiary, Little Bee, Pride and Prejudice, A Moveable Feast, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Wolf Hall
