To me, writing is like a stray eyebrow hair that must be plucked, a sneeze you can’t hold in, an urge to use the restroom—some things just have to come out.
I'm an artist, illustrator, writer (okay, so you figured that one out yourself), occasional recluse, perennial entrepreneur, certified word nerd, human satirist, animal lover, vegan, and can be frequently found debating odd subjects at any given time.
I dwell in my "cave" most of the time, staying pale, plucking away at my keyboard with four fingers and maybe a thumb (though I have written countless mss. I never learned to type properly—a bit of folly due to a rebellious nature).
Aside from my own stuff, I edit and create books for other authors, and judge literary contests. If I made you tired just thinking about all the stuff I do, don't feel alone—I'm tired too. Time for coffee. :-P

How to Rate a Soulmate is the story of a modern woman. Meet Sara. She is thirty-nine, happily single and working at an ad agency, but dreams of writing espionage novels. Her friends have paid for her to see a psychic to mark the momentous occasion of her pre-fortieth birthday. Sara finds out she was a Viking wife in a former life and a slutty Viking wife at that. She is also told that in order to find true love in this life she needs to love herself. Hence, The Plan. Sara embarks on a series of beauty treatments that are costly and painful, the ultimate goal in her sights being liposuction. Accompanied by her friends and colleagues, join Sara on her quest for self-improvement and the obstacles she faces in this witty book by D.L. Fisher.
This is a gem of a book, funny yet full of angst. D.L. Fisher has filled How to Rate a Soulmate with some awesome characters. Ash - and his bookstore - is a favorite of mine, the spinster sisters lurking in the aisles are hilarious and provide comic relief. Sara, however, is my ultimate woman and I would quite happily sneer at stick-thin supermodels with her and compare cottage cheese textured thighs! This is a perfect summer read and you will feel like you have been on a roller coaster of emotions. Sara is not your usual twenty-something heroine; she is a woman with issues and hot pink dildo named George. Come on, what's not to love?
