About meI am a published writer marketing two speculative fiction novels at the moment: ZF-360 and The Holly Place. I am happily married; we have six kids, ages 14 years to 4 months, and one neurotic cat. I love writing, reading, knitting, gardening, and cooking. Listen to my most recent short story, "Dodmen and the Holophusikon," at www.steampod.org .

About my libraryVery eclectic: lots of classics, especially the Victorians; fantasy, science fiction, slipstream; cookbooks, gardening books, and knitting books.

You're funny!
Maybe you should write humour?

Why is it you do not have the "LT Author" icon, like other authors on this site do?

I love ghost stories! I will have to get a copy of that one when it is done.
(I will try to be more gentle on the review...)

Maybe it is because I had read so many non-fiction first-person accounts, that I felt it lacked the personal element, then.
Or another thing could be the fact that it was written for juvenile readers, & I am too old to identify with juvenile fiction anymore. I used to be fond of "Goodbye, Paperdoll" when I first read it ages ago, but when I finally acquired another copy of it & reread it a few years ago, I wondered how I could have thought it was very good. I have really "outgrown" reading a lot of fiction, & read mainly non-fiction books now... It is a bit sad really.

What's your next project?

Hey, no hard feelings on the book review. At least it did not elaborate on how she became anorexic so someone could use it as a how-to book. I really wish something would be done about those books...maybe have an age limit on buying them, or something.
I was wondering how you came to write the book---it it based on personal experience, a loved one's experience, or is it total fiction?
