When Mindy invited me to write a guest post, she suggested the topic be “10 Things Reader's Would Be Surprised To Know About You.”  My immediate thought was, Yikes, how do I keep from turning this into an exercise in total narcissism?  I’m not sure I have an answer for that.
Should I be frivolous?  How about this?  I don’t eat green Lifesavers.  Hate ‘em.  I consistently pluck them out of the roll and throw them away.  (What flavor is the green supposed to be, anyway?  Lime?  Bile?)  Sorry Lifesavers.  I love your other flavors – cherry being my favorite – but I can’t stand the green.  You should lose ‘em.  It would save me some money.
Ok, maybe that’s a tad too flippant.
Should I be more solemn?  Believe it or not, I have never read anything by Tolstoy, Austen, Hugo or, drum roll please, Dickens.  What, I hear you say, you’re an author and you haven’t read all the classics?  Well, have you?
No.  That’s way too confrontational.  And it makes me look like a rube.  (Did I say any of that out loud?)
So, I think I should just be honest.  I don’t know that there are all that many things about me that readers would find particularly interesting.  But here’s the undeniable reality:  I love to write.  I mean, I love to write.  I do it all day as part of my law practice, and then I come home, and, for fun, I keep writing.  It used to be embarrassing when people would ask me what I do in my spare time.  I’d hem, I’d haw.  I really didn’t think they’d believe me if I said I like to write.
Now that I’ve published a couple of novels, though, it’s as if the world has opened up.  I can admit my little secret.  It’s all very liberating.
I think, unless it’s hurting others, people should do the things about which they have a passion.  I’ve found mine.  I only hope those who read what I write get half the enjoyment I get out of the writing.
