I love dogs. I would be surrounded by dogs if I could manage it. I particularly love dachshunds and I currently have a wire-haired female called Lucy.

I started writing when I was seven years old.

I wrote my first novel when I was I seventh grade and my second novel when I was in high school.

I love to travel and I usually travel to get information for my novels.

Every single place in my Whidbey Island novels actually exists, and I’ve been to all of the places in the books.

I have hiked in the forest where Derric Mathieson is injured in the first Whidbey novel.

Skiing is my favorite physical activity.

I’m a culture vulture and I particularly like live theatre.

I believe hair is art so I change my hair style frequently and I don’t understand people who wear their hair the same way for years and years.

I taught high school students for thirteen years before getting published and becoming a full time writer.
