10 GETTING TO KNOW YOU QUESTIONS
1. When writing, do you prefer to compose your first-draft by hand, on your computer, or using Morse Code?
A mix really. I start by hand, somewhere in the middle I begin typing, and along the way I write down ideas I have for other stories.
2. If you could sing any song with the artist who wrote/performed it, what would it be and with whom?
Secrets’ by OneRepublic but more importantly, Ryan Tedder. (He is the lead singer for OneRepublic and also composed the music and lyrics for the song)
3. Who inspired you to write in the very beginning?
I wasn’t really “inspired” by someone to start writing. What really started it was an experience I had. It is a really funny story and one day I was telling my two best friends about it. We were all laughing and I realized that it kinda sounded like something you would read in a book or see in a movie. So I sat down and attempted to write it out. I failed miserably. After that one of my friends told me that her mom and eight other women had just started a writing group and I was invited to come.
4. Favorite childhood memory?
Spending time with my siblings. We grew up close because we were all home-schooled and own a family business. We did everything together. That doesn't happen often anymore with everyone grown up, some of them have their own families now, and one brother lives in Australia.

5. What is your "Thing". i.e. do you have a non-professional hobby or a particularly acute preference for something that you feel defines a large part of who you are?
Almost all of my hobbies, I make money from. The one that I have not is Dragon and Sword collecting. I LOVE dragons, I LOVE swords. (Does that count as a hobby?)
6.What items could you typically have in your pockets?
My phone, a hair tie, and loose change.
7.What is the most unusual thing you have ever given as a gift?
I love this question. Usually people ask what is the most unusual thing you have been given. So, most unusual thing I have given? An old mining Stock Certificate.
8. What makes you cry? (Emotional reasons. Onions don't count.)
Answer: Movies, books, people. I am a sympathetic crier. I am over emotional so a lot of things make me cry.
9.Where do you go to "Get away from it all"?
Novels. I read and listen to music.
10.What makes life worth living?
The Small moments when it seems like everything is falling apart and one person changes it all with the simplest of things. A simple gesture, a small compliment, a smile.
