Here are some of my favorite places to visit when I'm not writing.

I often refer to myself as a closet goth... more about that on my blog but in reality, I'm far too happy to be goth. I'll admit to having black leather curtains, velvet furniture, gargoyle statues and gothic lanterns in my home. I'll also admit that my closet conceals its share of black vinyl and boots, but the latter mostly comes out to play for the club scene. When I'm not writing, reading fiction, or clubbing, Gothic Beauty Magazine is a guilty pleasure.

If you're a romance reader, you'll enjoy Romantic times book reviews. They also host a wonderful conference every year where fans, authors, artists and cover models mingle to celebrate the magic of romance fiction.
