I love to cook. In fact, at this exact moment, I am trying something new: I am cooking a whole chicken in my crockpot, which I've never done before. I browned it with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and I put a bunch of celery and onions - which I'll have to hide from the children because they claim to hate onions - and I'm going to make homemade mashed cream potatoes. I always, before I leave for work in the morning, have supper cooking. That way, when I come home and they come home from school, there's all kinds of good smells in the house.

A lot of police shootings are justified, but many others are not.

I'd love to branch out but I have absolutely no interest in romance. I just don't. The thought of trying to write a rom-com ... it just completely skeeves me out. No!

I have 'To Kill A Mockingbird' signed by Harper Lee. That is my prized possession.

In school [I wanted] to be an English teacher.

I was in the courtroom prosecuting violent felonies for well over a decade.

I am not anti-cop, I am pro-cop.
