THE FACTS
1) I am the alter-ego of a much too boring middle-aged woman.
2) I am more fascinated by what is not said than what is.
3) I rarely plan what I write. Ideas simply pester and poke and tease at me until I write them down in a way that satisfies them and then they leave me alone.
4) I need complete silence to write and I must have a view from a window.
​
THE FUN
​
1) My perfect writing retreat would be a real life tree house fashioned after The Magic Faraway Tree so that after a hard day's writing I could sit on a cushion and whiz home via a giant slippery dip.
2) I look forward to the day technology or genetic engineering will allow me to program my hair to grow blue - wigs are annoying.
3) My favorite food is baked cheescake and the day celery can be genetically engineered to taste like it I will be a huge fan.
