In their own words

Romance writer looking for Research Assistant.

I tend to be a bit shy, but when people get to know me they are surprised by my rather bawdy sense of humor. I love to laugh and learn new things. I try to always be honest with people and want them to return that favor. I like to read fiction, and I enjoy writing. I've had two novels published so far and I'm working on my third book. When I'm not writing, I'm a librarian. I enjoy my job a great deal. I like to travel. I'm a typical tourist - site-seeing in places where I haven't been before or revisiting favorite spots from past trips. Sometimes it is fun to just head out in the car and drive to see where I end up. I have run across some really wonderful small places by doing that. Basically, if I go somewhere and have the opportunity to learn something new about me, life, the universe and everything,I've had a good day! Looking For: What I am searching for is someone who can be a friend and a lover. If we click, I'd like us to develop things into a committed relationship. I think the characteristics of laughter and playfulness are as important in a man as his strength of character and will. I want a man who understands honor and chivalry and exhibits both. I seek a one-on-one relationship with a man who is NOT in a committed relationship (ie. not married or in possession of a significant other).

Insights
Describe the perfect evening.
There are many great evening or weekends for me. I love going to a bar/restaurant to listen to my favorite local band, Wylde Nept. I talk with my friends between sets and enjoy the music when the band is on the stage. I may sing drinking songs - but I don't drink much. I enjoy attending SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) events. I like to watch the fighting while I work on some arts or sciences project and chat with friends. Then in the evening, we all sit down to a fabulous feast with more conversation with friends. After the event, we go to a post-revel and sing and laugh together. If the evening was with my special man, I'd enjoy a nice dinner (at home or out) while we talked. We could cuddle on a couch and watch a movie, or whatever we both enjoyed. Then we could spend the night communing in a more intimate manner.
How important is someone's physical appearance to you?
I'd have 20/20 vision. Glasses are a pain.
What do your friends tease you about the most?
I blush pretty easily, and I have gotten teased about that often.
What gets on your nerves?
rudeness, closed-mindedness, prejudice. Willful ignorance. A person that has learning disabilities can't help their challenges, but people who are ignorant and choose to remain so are really annoying.
What is the most important thing in a relationship?
Sparks. Not just physically, although those are important. I like someone that can meet me on an intellectual level and talk. A shared sense of values and humor.
What turns you off?
Rude, crude people. People who enjoy hurting others with their humor (I never found Don Rickles particularly funny). Someone with no honor or sense of chivalry. Someone I can't respect. A person with no loyalty. Someone who doesn't bathe regularly.
What turns you on?
Long, slow kisses. Warm deep voices. Intelligent conversation. A good sense of humor. A courteous, honorable man. A great smile.
What do you hope to be doing five years from now?
Working in a public library. I am a public services librarian and I love my job! Also, I intend to be a published author. I'll travel a bit to do author signings at book stores when I'm not writing.
