After I learned how to write, I vividly remember copying down on notebook paper the entire book of The Boxcar Children, because I wanted to "write a book." I didn't actually get published until 2012, more as a result of a mental push: "I want to write and publish a book." I fell in love with the process. That first book certainly wasn't expert, but many more have followed it.

Favorite book? I have so many. The ones that I love the most go way back to my very young days: Anne of Green Gables, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Lord of the Rings, Laura Ingalls Wilder, etc. Later ones were Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Twilight. There are so many good books out there, and I know I'm missing so many of them. It's a reason why I will never be done reading. :)(less)
