"When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes." ~ Erasmus
I'm a new age girl with an old soul. I currently work as an advertising consultant to afford my lust for books. I was born and raised in Montana and I reside in the Magic City. In 2001, I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication and minored in Theatre with an emphasis on French. I now have a not-so-secret dream to be a published novelist. I am currently writing my first novel and reading as many writing-help books as possible as I begin my quest as an artist. Meanwhile, I also have a love affair with fiction. I slip the occasional nonfiction work in for good measure.
As a voracious reader, I keep track of the number of books, authors, titles and pages I've read this year because I like to look back at what I've read over the course of the year and it's a great way of letting others see what I've most recently digested.
I accept friendship requests from courteous Shelfarians who share my love of books. I would like more time in my life to be involved in various groups, but at this particular time, I have to be quite choosy.
