Smashwords Interview

Who are your favorite authors?
I love writers who can turn words into magic: Seanan McGuire, T. Kingfisher, Mary Gentle, Patricia McKillip, and Ursula K. LeGuin. I also enjoy the more straightforward style of writers like Dick Francis, Allen L. Wold, and Tanya Huff. I read a lot of nonfiction these days, and my favorite authors in that arena are those who can turn dry information into an intensely real, personal, and fascinating story: Mark Kurlansky, Bud Webster, and Andrew Barr come to mind on that front. Finally, I love reading (and re-reading) children's books and YA; my absolute top favorite there is Tove Jannson, whose Moominvalley series I grab whenever I'm particularly in need of something to lift my spirits.
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
Preferably sleeping, gardening, reading, cooking, or playing World of Warcraft.
