Books: Too many to list, but I love all kinds of books, from the Great Books to paperback novels. My favorite authors are Steinbeck, Hemingway, Capote, Welty, Shakespeare, King, Cornwell, Koontz, and many others.

Movies: ALL ABOUT EVE is my favorite movie of all time - it is the perfect film. There are too many other great ones to go into here, but suffice to say I love all kinds - especially the classic films of the '30s, '40s and '50s, from light comedies to heavy dramas and everything in between. I also love classic TV shows, as well as LAW AND ORDER (all incarnations), WITHOUT A TRACE, and THE CLOSER.

Music: Jazz, Big Band, Swing, Spanish, '50s and '60s rock and roll, mid-20th century pop.

Hobbies: I love to read, write, keep my journal (I've kept diaries and journals since I was nine years old), travel, cook, host intimate dinner parties, garden and spend time with friends and family. I also love to sing, of course! And I have been working hard at becoming a better photographer and truly enjoy taking and printing my photos.

Independent jazz singer and recording artist based in San Antonio, Texas.
