In the meantime, here are some interviews/articles about me and some of my other books:

  • “If I could be any fictional character I think I would be Catherine Earnshaw, because I am a romantic and would love to live in the moor countryside. But I would make a point of not marrying Edgar Linton no matter how many times I was bitten by dogs.” – Author Turf Interview (2012)
  • “The hardest part of writing is everything except naming characters and coming up with an extremely vague notion of the story. Ugh, plot. Does there have to be plot?” – Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers Interview (2014)
  • My grandmother lived with us for a time, and when her arthritis got bad enough that she could no longerss grip a bowling ball and had to drop out of her bowling league, I took her place. I was 14, and everybody else was pushing 80. I had a headgear, they had hearing aids. There was symmetry. Yeah, I was That Girl.” – Big Blue Marble Blog
