Do you have any interests/talents that you keep hidden from your friends and family?

Books, mostly on Kindle.

Nalini Singh Psy/Changeling Series
Lora Leigh Breed series (haven't read recent ones in last few years as writing went downhill) I also like a few contemporary by her but strictly prefer monogamous stories so her menages are out for me.
RAW Belle Aurora
Monster in His Eyes JM Darhower
Full Ride Gail Faulkner
Adam's Obsession Sabrina York

I have no writers in the family but figured out how to get a publisher on my own while in college. The first book was published when I was 23 and the second when I was 25.

The reason I have never told any friends about it (family knows and is proud of me) is because when I was 27 I got a contract for a third book. After writing the entire book the publisher decided not to publish it. I was heartbroken and never wrote another word since. My self esteem was crushed and has never recovered and I have never discussed my career as a writer with anyone since.

This breaks MY heart! I hope you can take some pride in the fact that you are a published author. That really is awesome don't you know that? I totally understand your not wanting to discuss your writing career though. Just sorry to hear of your heartbreak. This just spoke to me for some reason.
