And a technology-phobe venturing out into the scary internet world, peddling my wares. I write  young adult, middle grade picture and adult books.

Me, in four quotes:

"Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me."
--Michael Scott, The Office (U.S. version)

"I'm Liesl. I'm 16 years old, and I don't need a governess."
--The Sound of Music

"Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."
--C.S. Lewis

"Puffed sleeves are so fashionable now. It would give me such a thrill, Marilla, just to wear a dress with puffed sleeves."
--Anne of Green Gables
