I write Bizarro books. Weird things fascinate me. I like to stretch my imagination, and I want to entertain people. I like to cook. I love peanut butter and chocolate. I like science fiction and horror movies. I draw and paint, too, but not as well as I'd like to. I've tried to learn to play the guitar for ten or fifteen years. I like root beer. I tend to write about secret animal societies-I don't always try to. There is hardly any music I do not like. I like sage tea-fresh sage from the garden is best. I like rain. My writing is influenced by nature more than literature. I prefer quiet to loud. I like green but I don't have a favorite color. I try not to collect things, but lately I've been finding gemstones. I'm learning to make jewelry.
