Music
So many musicals, so little time: Les Mis, Miss Saigon, Phantom of the Opera, Martin Guerre, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I'm very eclectic in my listening. I also love Michael Ball (played Marius in Les Mis), Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, Casting Crowns, Newsboys, Selah, Josh Groban.
Books
How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I'm not kidding. I love that book. Okay, on a more serious note, I adore To Kill A Mockingbird and The Secret Life of Bees.
Movies/TV
There are too many favorites to name, but here are some I watch over and over: It's a Wonderful Life, Sense and Sensibilities, Bridget Jones' Diary, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, Apollo 13, Dances with Wolves, Something's Gotta Give.

About Leanna Ellis
I'm a writer of quirky women's fiction and live in Texas with my husband and kids, along with our menagerie of critters -- three dogs and one cat. We homeschool, so between grading math homework and driving my kids to piano, dance, fencing, basketball and flag football practices, I stay fairly busy. It's no wonder I escape periodically to the land of make believe -- my imagination.

My next book, Once in a Blue Moon, will be out March 2010.
Despite death defying feats, guilt has always pulled Bryn down time and again. But a perfect love shows her taking a leap of faith is the first step to soaring. But it only happens ... once in a blue moon.
