My name is Connie L.
Smith, and I’m a new author working my way through my first trilogy. You can
find the link to buy Essenced, the first book, (only $1.99 when not on
sale) on my website.
I have a very distinct
obsession with the 1950s. And Christmas. I decorate like crazy.
I read way too much for my
own good, and would seriously consider starting a book review site if I didn’t
already have so many places to invest my time. I love a good fantasy story, and
YA has wedged its way into my heart.
Supernatural is my current
TV obsession, and my music collection just wouldn’t be complete these days
without a big dose of Hinder. Their bassist is actually my soul mate. He just
doesn’t necessarily know it.
I studied History in
college (Northern Kentucky University
I have a few old lady
hobbies. I love to bake and make junk food, especially around the holiday
season, and I’ve done a bit of sewing in my time as well. I’m also not-so-terrible
at floral arrangements.
This may sound like an
impressive list of abilities, but you have to balance it out with the fact that
I stink at driving and can’t swim. It’s a give and take situation.
I’m terrified of bees.
Seriously. I’m not even really allergic, but I’ll dance and dodge to avoid
them.
For years, I’ve been
disappointed in myself for being in the theater for Return of the King,
hearing Aragorn ask, “What say you?” and not yelling, “Ni.”
Fairies make me happy. In
fact, a fairly big portion of me will always be sad that I don’t have wings.
And that I can’t swing dance. And that I can’t own a winged horse.
I love photography, but
I’m not that amazing at it from an artistic standpoint.
I grew up in the country,
and it shows. Sometimes all the twang in my accent combines into a centralized
force and shoves it way into conversation. I still like some of the simpler
aspects of that kind of life – sitting on a front porch swing or staring at a
mountain stream. There’s something tranquil about those smaller things, and I
wouldn’t trade my memories revolving around them for a more city-based
childhood.
