Five Things Readers Probably Don’t Know About Me: A Guest Post by JoAnn Ross
I’m on maternity leave! During this time, a few of my favorite authors offered to step up and write guest posts so that this blog would remain active while I adjust to my new role as a mother. I may also be a bit slower to respond. Thanks for understanding and for being so supportive of me, my family, and my blog. Want to donate a few dollars to keep this blog running or perhaps contribute to my diaper fund? You can do so on Venmo or Paypal.

My first job, when I was three years old, was in a Los Angeles roller skating follies. My mother was a chorus line skater (think a Rockette on wheels), and since dependable day care was hard to come by in those days, I was made a member of the troop. My pay, a hot fudge sundae and a weekly movie matinee, seemed extraordinarily generous at the time.
My early years were spent in a bungalow on Santa Monica Beach, with bulked up bodybuilders from L.A.’s Muscle Beach as babysitters.
While still in grammar school, I wrote melodramas I staged in our backyard, casting my sisters and neighborhood kids in the roles. Since I was a prolific writer, box office receipts paid for my first bike.
I worked as a magician’s assistant. And no, I will not reveal how I was cut in half.
I married my high school sweetheart. Twice.
