Four Things

Camy over at Camy’s Loft had a fun idea, I decided to post it since a similar email circulated around the office yesterday. My list is edited. Here are things you may not have known about me:

A) Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Web Developer
2. Computer Lab Manager
3. Receptionist
4. Fast Food – worked cash register (May I take your order please?)

B) Four movies I would watch over and over:
1. Lord of the Rings (all three)
2. Love and Basketball
3. Why Did I Get Married? (really anything Tyler Perry)
4. Ratatouille (anything by Pixar – I love CG animations)

BOOK REVIEW | Crimson Eve

Crimson Eve
by Brandilynn Collins

While showing a home, realtor Carla Radling finds her potential buyer charming in a James Bond sort of way. Carla is ecstatic that someone finally is interested in the dead actress’ property. After all, who really wants to live in the home of a murdered person. To her surprise, Carla’s “English man” pulls a gun on her. She’s not sure why someone has sent an assassin after her, but she barely escapes with her life.

Carolina Christian Writers

Carolina Christian Writers has started a new blog, hosting book reviews, author interviews, as well as agent and editor interviews. CCW recently began in October 2007 as a local group of writers with the goal of becoming an official chapter of ACFW.

I officially joined the group in December 2007 and attended my first meeting this month. I’m happy to be apart of a local writer’s group and feel this will kick me into gear this year. Most of the members are ACFW members. This is my second year with ACFW and I’m looking forward to attending the annual conference this fall in Minneapolis.

As for the CCW blog, in about two weeks, I will be posting a review and interview. Each week a different member will post. This weekend on the CCW blog, we kick off our first review with The Cure by Athol Dickson (reviewed by Todd Greene). Stop over and be sure to bookmark our new blog.
