St. John is my happy place. I have an irrational fear of barracudas (both in and out of the water). I'm an elite Boggle player. I'm addicted to Scrabble on Facebook. I live for sunny weather. I'd rather be hot than cold. The advent of GPS has made city driving almost palatable. I read The Wall Street Journal daily. Trashy TV is my guilty pleasure. Retail therapy is the best kind of therapy. I miss the days when I had time to play video games. I have at least twenty recipes for chocolate chip cookies and twice that number for macaroni and cheese, but I am still searching for the perfect recipe of each. Fancy cameras please me. Winning isn't everything, but it's important. Playing fairly is more important than winning. A joke isn't funny unless everyone is laughing. I feel guilty that I eat cows, but I really love steak. Gin and tonic with extra lime is my drink of choice.

Writing is how I escape.

March 3, 2017: This is an update for the handful of you who still wonder about the ending of Hiding in Plain Sight. I know it seems outrageous that I haven't finished it (and it is), but for the years my children were small, time and inspiration were scarce.

Now that I am writing regularly again, I hope to one day wrap up this bit of unfinished business. I realize 99% of my readers stopped caring about this story 5 years ago, but some of you still send me kind (and not-so-kind) notes, and I personally hate it when stories go unfinished.

In other news, my Twitter is no longer abandoned. Come say hi @limona007.
