Favorite place to read a book: In the bathroom. (But don’t tell anybody!)
Book character I’d like to be stuck in an elevator with: Mr. Darcy. We’d probably have a lively time, and I’d love to know what he thinks about elevators.
The moment I knew I wanted to become an author: Birth? I can’t remember when I wasn’t mentally putting my life into words.
Hardback, paperback, ebook or audiobook: I love hard-cover books (particularly those beautiful dust jackets), but paperbacks are much better for carrying around all over town.
The last book I read: I’m always reading, but the last book I finished is I Blame Dennis Hopper, a delightful memoir by Illeana Douglas.

Pen & paper or computer: I long ago made the switch to computer. So much easier to revise!
Book character I think I’d be best friends with: Jo March. She was a writer too.

Favorite decade in fashion history: The slinky gowns of the 1930s.
Place I’d most like to travel: Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
My signature drink: A mojito. Or maybe a nice glass of buttermilk.

Most looking forward to this holiday season: Sleep, family, movies
