    Skating Books

    There are A LOT of Jennifers. That's why I use "Jens Lyon" as my pen name; my real name was already "taken." Character names, on the other hand...

    Read Toller's stuff

    IIRC (and I may not because this was thirty years ago), Toller also had an issue with the Motley Crue T-shirt that Kurt wore to a practice session.

    Olympic gold medalist Oksana Baiul talks Miracle Flights fundraiser

    Yeah, and Michelle Kwan turned 40 about a month ago. There is a part of me that still thinks of her and Oksana and their cohorts as teens while I'm in my early 20s. But, no... We are all middle-aged ladies now.

    Interview with Elena Ilinykh

    Morozov's inappropriate relationships with teenaged girls have been well-documented over the years. For some reason, he has never been held accountable for his behavior, no matter what country he is in or where his victims are from. (Yes, I am calling them victims because that's what they are.)

    What was your first exposure to figure skating?

    CBC Revives Battle of the Blades Skating Show!

    It's like going to a Generation X wedding reception and people are slow dancing to REM's "The One I Love" or "Every Breath You Take" by the Police. Those are NOT love songs!

    What are your favorite figure skating books?

    I haven't read Adam Rippon's book yet, but it's on my books-to-get list. I've done a little work on a new skating novel, but at this stage it's still more of an embryo than a fetus.

    CBC Revives Battle of the Blades Skating Show!

    It's damn good cheese! Besides, the skaters and the hockey players are raising money for their favorite charities, so that's another reason to like BOTB.
