| Gary Jennings author of Aztec and Aztec Blood. When I read these I was having to sneak cause my mom told me I wasn't allowed to read them, which made me HAVE to read them then!

| I think I'm the only Belgian here? (for the geographically challenged: a small country squeezed between The Netherlands (to the North), France (to the South) and Germany (to the East). More specifically, I live in Flanders, and speak Flemish - a Dutch dialect - as Belgium is two tiny parts stuck tog... |

| I have loved horror movies since I was a young girl, and never found them truly frightening, I suppose because the reality at home was somehow worse. I also adore Ghost Stories, have been collecting books of ghost stories since my teenage years and it is still my favourite reading matter. Good ghost... |

| I must say I always thought it was one of those fashionable words: "lifestyle". IF I have a lifestyle, it would be a very restricted one, as my life is. I suppose my lifestyle is defined by my obsessions: beauty (art and antiques, all cheaply bought at jumble sales), books (English literature, ghost... |

| I have always preferred the company of animals (cats, dogs, horses etc.) to people. They are much easier to understand and communicate with.

My son (who is nt) asked me the other day "why do you always gather information?" and I replied: "because I constantly want to learn more, want to KNOW" - I just w... |

| I do learn things very quickly but only when I want to learn... For example, I have a natural aptitude for languages and did learn English (verbal, reading and writing) in a few years at a rather young age (13-14), but French and German, which I did not like for different reasons (one for being the ... |
