Bio

Liddy loves, works and writes in the woods of eastern Pennsylvania, surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife. Although raccoons, possums, skunks and the occasional fox eat the cat food on her back porch, she's no more than half an hour from some of the finest shopping in the country. Situated in this best of all possible worlds, how could she write anything other than romance?

Living in a Victorian cottage with Mistah Midnight and her 4 rescued felines, she has found the best this world can offer, and she shares the other worlds of her imagination through her books.

Favorites

What is your favorite color?
Purple. And green. Green is the color of money. Purple is the color of royalty. I want both.

What is your favorite quote?
"The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is your favorite pastime?
Goofing off. That means either reading or messing with beads and jewelry findings, or playing with the cats.

What music do you listen to?
Country. The whiny, through-the-nose old-time type, like Dwight Yoakum and Emmy Lou Harris. Also Toby Keith, Rodney Crowell, Alan Jackson, Neal McCoy, Vince Gill, Terry Clark, Reba, and their peers. I really like humorous songs, such as "Is It Still Over?", "She's Crazy for Leaving", "Girls Lie Too", and "It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night (That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long)".

What is your favorite kind of movies?
Funny. Action/Adventure. SciFi Favorites include Overboard, Enemy Mine, DragonHeart, Romancing the Stone, What About Bob?, Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, Major League, Home Alone, Scrooged, Jackie Chan's movies, almost everything Arnold Schwarzenegger has made (with the exception of Conan, they have strong female characters!), Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and so many more I can't list them all.

What books do you like to read?
Ones with happy endings. Mysteries. Thrillers. I like a good action plot. I'm not a fan of stories that are purely about relationships. Gag!

What are you reading now?
Nomads and Empire Builders, by Carleton Beals (research) I'm between fiction books right now, but in the queue are Ann Cory, Cait Miller, Christine Feehan, Kim Harrison, Wen Spencer, Susan Squires and E.E. Knight. I'm not sure which one I'll pick up next. A lot of that decision will be based on my mood at that moment.

What are your favorite scenes to write?
Pivotal ones! I love scenes that change the course of the story, one way or another. Someone learns something or realizes a truth, and the world shifts.

What advice can your give for an aspiring writer?
Don't take anything personally - learn whatever you can, from anyone you can. Be professional about your writing and your business relationships. Most important, persevere. Never give up, never surrender!
