Okay, so here's the thing: I'm really indecisive. And it seems like this profile is, like, all about naming specific things. So I'm getting all High Fidelity about it, worried the minute I finish I'll think of ten others and then I'll have to go back to edit, and then edit again, and the next thing you know I won't do anything but tinker with it all day long and my career, such as it is, will end. So what can I say? I love to read (a requisite for a writer) and spend entirely too much time on the internet (see above). I watch a lot of television, a fact I used to be ashamed of, and now, not so much. This fall, it will be ten years since my first book came out, a fact that officially blows my mind. A couple of years back, two of my novels were made into a movie called How to Deal. Right now, I'm waiting for my seventh book, Just Listen,, to come out in April. Writing is honestly the only thing I've ever been able to say with any certainty that I do well. I am fair to middling at just about everything else, including but not limited to: cooking, cleaning (okay, less than middling on that one), discussing politics, balancing my checkbook and any and all sports. But if you want someone to quickly summarize this season of Gilmore Girls WHILE making deviled eggs, I am your girl.
