Some of my favorite authors are Elizabeth George, Nevada Barr, Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell, Anne Rice, Nora Roberts, J.R. Ward and Janet Chapman. My all time favorite book is The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay. I reread it at least once a year. Recent favorites are The Mortal Instrument books, The Hunger Games Series, the Black Dagger Brotherhood series and the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris.

As for music I listen to a lot of top 40 Pop, and some R&B and the new-ish collaborative rap/pop/r&b/dance stuff that's currently on the radio. I love Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Ne-Yo, Usher, Maroon 5, Selena Gomez, Britney Spears, Rhianna and some Beyonce as well.

My biggest 'ship is Edward/Bella. But Grissom/Sara will always have my heart, as CSI was my first 'fandom.' My current ships are Blair/Chuck, Elena/Stefan, Caroline/Klaus, Barney/Robin, Blaine/Kurt and Jude/Tommy from Instant Star. This is a favorite, as I am a sucker for unlikely pairs. Finally, since before 'ships, and fandom and Live Journal existed, my first ship before I knew what a ship was : Brenda/Dylan.

I just want to put my disclaimer here, in case I forgot it on a story. I haven't figured out how to edit these stories yet, so here goes:

I of course make nothing off of these stories. Stephenie Meyer owns all recognizable characters and any references from the Twilight Universe.
