Answer 1

What do you do for fun?
When I'm not writing, I like to read, swim, go to the theatre, work in the garden, paint, and, of course, spend time with my family! My husband's name is Mike, and I have a young stepson Ethan. Our household also includes Marbles, a stray cat named for the "marbled" look of her orange, black and brown fur. When I was a kid, I was the caretaker of a "zoo" of animals--crayfish, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish, hermit crabs, toads, and a dog.

Do you have any favorite children's books?
When I was growing up, I read everything--even the backs of cereal boxes at breakfast. My favorite books were mysteries, the Little House series (history, of course!), and the Chronicles of Narnia. I also loved The Great Gilly Hopkins. Even though I'm "grown up" now, I still read lots of children's books. Like many of you, I'm a fan of Harry Potter. Other favorites of mine are The Watsons Go To Birmingham, Because of Winn Dixie, Tuck Everlasting, and The People Could Fly.
