In Her Own Words
About her
I am ... Generous to a fault. Eternally curious. Bi/pan. Happy lefty hippy-type.
Ex-marathon runner and mountain climber, who now walks with a stick and attitude (I exercise as much as possible despite it all. But hiking days are done. It drives me mad. I’m not going to play tennis or go diving with anyone, but am quite happy to watch and act as a taxi service. Emphatically not looking for someone to look after me!)
I love ... Good stories. Lots of talking. Getting to know new people. Bit of flirting doesn't hurt.
Also love ... Lazy days in the sun, chatting, perusing the menu. Deciding whether to have cake and/or another bottle. Travel is my jam, and I have more guidebooks than is strictly healthy.
Also … concerts, theatre, movies, galleries
And ... Tomorrow is another day, so why not kick back and enjoy this one? (But only sometimes. I'm a writer and I love my job.)
It's a cliché, but ... life sounds better to music.
I'm always ... thinking about my next book, planning an adventure, learning something new, not worrying about housework.
About her ideal match
I'm hoping to meet someone ... passionate about whatever it is you like doing, curious about things you haven't done, who loves learning and exploring the world through words.
Who ... loves life and all it has to offer: travel, music, food (don't ask me to cook though!) Hanging out in cafes and bars watching the world go by, inventing stories, flirting, planning adventures -- small and large.
Who … wants a friend first.
Do you see yourself on a warm evening, putting the world to rights over a good meal and a few drinks, before … me too.
If you like reading mysteries, that's a bonus.
