When did you first start writing?
In tenth grade I wrote a short story for my Language Arts class. It scored the highest in the entire sophomore class. And although it was a shock, mostly because I thought everyone's imagination was as whacked-out as mine, it took fifteen years before I worked up the courage to really seriously try to write.
What's the story behind your latest book?
The two Amanda Noble books, Amanda Noble, Zookeeper Extraordinaire and Amanda Noble, Special Agent, were released in print in 2007 and 2008. Then I played around with several other manuscripts, releasing one under the pen name Lesa Howard, before I decided to make the Amanda books available in ebook format. I have a third Amanda story, Amanda Noble, Swamp Thing, that will be available soon.
