Beside writing, I have many interests. The problem is finding the time to pursue them. I love doing most any type of hand-crafts, particularly crochet. I do some plastic canvas creations, and have recently decided to tackle some crafts for holidays and birthday giving gifts using discarded CD's. Should be a fun project.
Of course, I love reading. I really need to get my books organized. All my book shelves are bulging and I've begun stacking them on every empty spot in my little office I can find.

Music has been my passion since a little girl. I started taking piano lessons at age five, then moved to organ and accordion, for fun. But piano remains my love. No, I'm not by any means 'accomplished.' I play for my own, and family pleasure, and used to be church pianist/organist for many years.
As to music listening pleasure, my tastes are rather eclectic. I love classical music--it is my background music of choice when I'm writing. I also love Big BAnd music, the sounds of the 40's. Some rock 'n roll, some country (not a lot!), and good old fashioned Gospel.

Oh, I LOVE books! Ever since Dick and Jane I've had a book in my hands, purse, or bedside table. Like music, my book-reading is eclectic. I'll read almost anything except Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Supernatural or Speculative, though I have read a few of them, too.
As a book reviewer, I could get in trouble if I tried to name some of my favorite books/writers here So, I'll play it safe and mention some of my old-all-time favorites: Exodus (Leon Uris--actually anything by Uris); Chesapeake, Centennial and Texas (James A. Michener); Grapes of Wrath (John Steinbeck); A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens); The Devil's Advocate and Tender Victory (Taylor Caldwell); Christy and Julie (Catherine Marshall); and everything by Eugenia Price.
Okay, I'll stop there.

Don't watch much TV. Haven't for a long while. Don't go to many movies, either. But some of my favorites from years gone by are: Gone With The Wind, Dr. Zhivago, Ben Hur, The Sound of Music, The Ten Commandments, El Cid, The old Jerry Lewis/Dean Martin movies, and Danny Kaye's films. Yeah, I like to laugh in between all the drama.

A Child of The King, Peg is a wife, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and great-grandmother of six--at last count. She is a writer, columnist, reviewer and interviewer, encourager and a good listener.
She also enjoys handcrafts of many types, and, as an avid reader, loves to dive between the covers of a good book and lose herself totally in the story.
A retired executive assistant, Peg now lives in southern Nevada with her husband Jim, and a family of gorgeous--but spoiled--Lynx Point Siamese cats.
Peg is a member of ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) and CWFI (Christian Writer's Felloswhip International.)

Since early this year friends have been telling me how wonderful the ShoutLife community was. But, along with being a dedicated blogophobic, I resisted. It eventually dawned on me that I really did need to break out of my comfort zone (and my reclusi...
