I love figure skating, writing, and film music. I collect film scores. There are over 100 in my collection. My most recent addition is Atonement by Dario Marianelli, who received an Oscar for this innovative score. My favorite skaters are the "Russian Five" as I call them: In no order they are: Evgeni Plushenko, Alexei Yagudin, Ilia Kulik, Alexander Abt, and Alexei Urmanov. I am enthralled with the Russian culture in general, ever since I was a little girl. I am also interested in the history of the last Russian Imperial Family, in partikcular the youngest child, the Tzarevich Aleksei Nicholaievich, whom I look to as a sort of guardian angel.

I'm a writer by trade, currently working on a few novels, one of which I've been working on for eight years.

Writing is my life, my passion. Along with that, film scores have been my first love for almost twenty years. I've been an avid figure skating fan since I was fifteen years old. I've been interested in the Russian Imperial Family of Tzar Nicholai II for eightteen years.
