Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I do, actually. I was about nine years old when I wrote it and it was an illustrated crime story involving a pencil detective, his paperclip girlfriend and their pursuit of a moustachioed pen - who had stolen an apple... with whom he later fell in love with.
What do you read for pleasure?
Non-fiction. I mostly enjoy history, anthropological and/or archeological books.
