I love to read, have since I was little. My mom is a retired school teacher and a big reader herself and passed her love for it to me. I used to be an actress and loved the different roles I played and the stories being told. I guess it all comes full circle with my love of escaping into a story for a little while and being someone else for a change. Because of it, I feel I have a better sense of the human pysche and the world around us. I once heard that movies and books are about something extraordinary happening in an ordinary life. Bring on the extraordinary!
