Pennsylvania (Philly), New Jersey (Princeton), Virginia (Norfolk) and Florida (Broward & Palm Beach counties--currently in Boynton Beach)
What are some of your favorite places in Florida?
Amelia Island, Ponte Vedra BeachWhat does your writing space look like?
I have a writing "studio upstairs," but inspiration usually gets me when I'm on my den sofa with my cat in my lap. Lately, I've been writing in bed as well...
Are you a pen/pencil, typewriter or computer writer?
Mac all the way...I can't read my own handwriting!
When did you first realize you have a passion for writing?
At 2 when I read my first book--legend has it I told my mother that Dr. Seuss was God.
What’s a book you’ve reread and why?
Child of My Heart by Alice McDermott--it's the book I wish I wrote; the voice is so heartbreakingly on target...
What advice do you have a graduate student in his/her first semester?
Be selective in what you workshop--you get only 2-3 shots at feedback so don't waste them on something you really don't care about or plan to pursue.
