| Introduction | I am in love with all things fiction, but I am an author of primarily YA Fantasy with a sharp slice of humor. You can find more info about my books including the Dreams of Chaos series on www.ashleychappellbooks.com. When I do get my nose out of a book once in a while, it’s usually to enjoy a movie night or boating/hiking/camping trip with my duprass-mate, Steven (for those of you not familiar with a duprass - 1) I pity you; 2) Google it, then go read CAT'S CRADLE). |
| Interests | Reading/Writing, all things fiction, dragonflies that stop by for a visit, dragging my out-of-shape butt outside for camping, listening to political talk radio just to get mad, dark and delicious beer, anything with four legs, a quiet night cuddled up with a book |
| Favorite music | I love music that speaks to me and I'm not a genre snob. Nickel Creek, The Beatles, Duke Ellington, Jewel, Rolling Stones, Brahms, Count Basie, The Ting-Tings, Vivaldi, Ladyhawke, Rosemary Clooney... you get the picture. If it comes to favorite genre I'm torn between jazz and classic rock. |
| Favorite books | Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Now to simplify the rest, let's just go with favorite authors here: Terry and Neil of course, Ken Follett for his mastery of the historical novel, Robert Heinlein for his mastery of dialogue, Asimov for his mastery of my imagination. I firmly believe I gained most of my analytic skills from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series as a child. I'd be remiss here if I didn't mention Douglas Adams, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and P.G. Wodehouse. |
