Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
My parents moved around a lot due to my father's job, so my sisters and I got to spend time in some interesting places. I think always being the new kid in town taught me to adapt to new situations. My writing benefits from my broad experience, and in turn, my experiences color the worlds and the backgrounds I create.
