What’s your favorite genre to read and write? Who’s your favorite author?
Nonfiction. I write nonfiction as well. My favorite Authors:
What age did you realize you loved books? When did you start writing?
I realized I liked books and loved writing when I was in fourth grade. I had a wonderful English teacher who inspired me with poem memorization. Each week she would give each of us a poem to memorize and on Friday we would each stand in front of the class to recite our poem. This came easy for me where other subjects, not so much. Ha! That year, I loved “library day”, too! I would check out the same wordless book and recreate a storyline that was different each time, based on the pictures.
Tell us about this book. What did you learn about yourself through writing it?

Do you normally use an outline for the books you write, or do you just start with a few ideas?
Both. But, my initial proposal is always my plumb line.
