Ten Things You Probably Don't Know About Me
- I'm a cat person. I once named a cat Lily after Harry Potter's mother.
- I collect girl-series books. You can see a video of some on You-Tube.
- When I was 13 I wrote a fan letter to Margaret Sutton, author of the Judy Bolton series. She came to my high school graduation party and before she died we co-wrote one more Judy mystery, THE TALKING SNOWMAN for fans.
- I had Lasik surgery and feel like I've been given a wonderful gift of vision.
- I started square dancing at age 13, was in a performing teen round dance group at age 17, and met my husband at a square dance. I have square danced in a bathroom, elevator, on a boat, Big Trees Stump and in the Seattle Space Needle.
- I got bit by a fish while on a Caribbean cruise. I put the scene in a book -- called it research.
- I don't care much for dolls, but my mother makes ceramic dolls and her house is like a doll museum.
- My best friend shares my birthday (10-29).
- After reading the book Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatly Snyder as a kid, my best friend and I mummified a dead turtle and put it in my mother's freezer.
- I am a chocoholic. I need help...do NOT send chocolate.
