Smashwords Interview

When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I have gotten into pencil coloring as a way to be creative but give my mind a rest. I always have enjoyed cooking, gardening, and exercising. Each one of those activities allows me to pause later on and savor what I have accomplished. And since I write full time at home, I can always find something to clean or a cat who needs attention.
When did you first start writing?
I started writing in seventh grade for English class. In eighth grade I was identified as verbally gifted and started taking college-level writing classes at Johns Hopkins.
