Lee Sherred (leesherredauthor) | 13 comments Admin, please delete this if it isn't ok.

Stolen from another group, but it seemed a fun way to get to know each other a bit better. Post five random facts about yourself below.

I'll start:

1. In the late 90's I re-entered wartorn Kosovo in a stolen bus.
2. The beard that I'm currently sporting is definitely NOT ginger, it's Mexican sunset!
3. Unfortunately, some of the more graphic scenes in my books are not a million miles away from my own personal experiences.
4. I'm definitely a dog person, but I do also have one and a half cats.
5. Whilst working security in a very prestigious nightclub, I once got into a fight with a very well known rapper and their entourage. After the fight, the floor was littered with dreadlocks that had been torn loose. They were then given away the next morning, as a prize, on a local radio station.

There...I now feel like a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders! Ha ha

1. I have a profession, but I'm going to school to start my second profession. Glutton for punishment.
2. I aspire to be a Crazy Cat Lady.
3. I met a member of Blink 182 when I was living in S. California at my job and it was lost on me, because I can't stand them.
4. I have way too many books.
5. I only hate three vegetables: kale, Brussell sprouts and cauliflower. Otherwise, I love them!

Jenny a.k.a....Jenny from the block | 180 comments Ok I’ll give it a shot
1. My career has now moved again... back in the hospital.... at 55 I have to stop this changing thing.
2. Besides reading, hiking, camping, fishing and weightlifting... I do enjoy bowling which my high score is 298...
3. Coming up on 27years of marriage and who would have thought that was even possible.
4. Back in 1978 I was in a karate tournament and I met Chuck Norris and he gave me my best advice ever, which was whatever you choose to do in life never ever give up... you keep fighting to your last dying breath....he said when he started karate he got his butt kicked often and if he cried uncle and called it quits he would never have obtained world karate champion for 6 consecutive years. Now that is simply great!
5. I wouldn’t change any of my life decisions. There are ups and downs always but eventually the cream always rises to the top...

Jenny a.k.a....Jenny from the block | 180 comments That moment when Chuck addressed us as a guest speaker and shared that with us was one of those priceless timeless keepsake memories...

1. I have moved 20 times (that's an average of once every 2 1/2 years), lived in 5 states (CA, TX, MN, TN, NC) and 2 countries (United States and Germany) and I have visited many, many more places.

2. Really hoping my last move will be soon (living on a beach somewhere warm year round).

3. I homeschooled my twin boys from 5th grade through 9th grade and really enjoyed it. They are both in college now, so I consider it a successful endeavor!

4. One of my boys was born with something called Biliary Atresia. It has been quite the journey!

5. I love to knit and have been doing it most of my life. I usually knit in the evenings while binge-watching my favorite shows on Netflix or Hulu.

Phillip Murrell | 100 comments 1. I've also moved around a lot (military brat and 20-year Soldier). I've lived in 5 countries (US, West Germany, South Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan) and 14 US states (Minnesota, Texas, Nevada, Oklahoma, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arizona.)

2. I'm a trained Explosive Ordnance Disposal officer, meaning I'm on the Army's bomb squad.

3. I earned my undergraduate degree when I was 20. (This is all true) It was a B.S. degree in Recreation from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.

4. I love roller coasters and would gladly spend my last day on earth at an amusement park with a ton of thrill rides.

5. Although I mentioned it in another game I'm trying to revive, I was a hostage in a bank robbery. I worked as a teller when two men came in with a pistol and held us up. It was over in 1-2 minutes, but I found it quite exhilarating. Looking at my list, you can see I'm an adrenaline junkie.
