Voices of Fiction – Hobbies – Part Three

Welcome to Voices of Fiction

We continue our exploration into the various hobbies of our participating authors.

Please welcome this week’s guests.

Cara Marsi, former corporate drone and cubicle dweller, and award-winning author, is published in romantic suspense, contemporary romance and paranormal romance. She also writes short romance stories for women’s magazines. Cara and her husband share their house with a fat black diva of a cat named Killer. - Website, Twitter, Facebook

Liz Crowe’s groundbreaking romance sub-genre, “Romance for Real Life,” has gained thousands of fans and followers who are interested less in the “HEA” and more in the “WHA” (“What Happens After?”) Her books are set in the not-so-common worlds of breweries, on the soccer pitch and in high-powered real estate offices. Don’t ask her for anything “like” a Budweiser or risk painful injury. - Website,  Blog, Facebook

Welcome Authors! It’s wonderful to have you back.

The Question: What hobby do you enjoy when not writing?

Cara Marsi – I'm a TV junkie. I watch TV, read, exercise, travel.

Liz Crowe – I love to read of course, but spend a lot of time watching sports and learning more about the microbrewery biz.

Terry W. Ervin II – I raise turtles in my basement. In stock tanks I have yellow-bellied and red-eared sliders, and eastern box turtles. I always liked turtles as a kid, so why not have a few as an adult? One goal related to this hobby is to breed the eastern box turtles so that I can repopulate the Willowbrook Land Laboratory associated with the Environmental Occupations Program (about 100 acres) at the school where I teach. The meadow and wooded area, with several ponds and a stream running through it, used to support box turtles many years back, but in the last decade only two have been spotted by the instructors and students.

Clara Bowman-Jahn – I love visiting with my family and friends. I love reading, reading, reading, and reading some more. I also enjoy walking a couple of miles a day with my husband.
Thank you all for joining us today.
