About meWell... I wrote my first book when I was in first grade. It was called "Wow!" and it was about a girl who goes to sleep the night before her birthday, dreaming of all the candy she's going to eat.
I still love candy.
About my libraryI used to work in a bookstore, and I'm still working through the galleys I picked up while there. I also went to college for Creative Writing, so I still have some anthologies and novels from that time. I love short stories best, but can still make time for a novel. My favorite authors are Alice Munro (she wrote me back!), Bret Easton Ellis, Tama Janowitz, Raymond Carver and Tom Robbins.

I LOVED Tama Janowitz -- when I first read "Slaves of New York," I just wanted to pack up and move to NYC and become an artist and fabulous. (Except I was a teenager, not an artist, and had about two dollars to my name. And lived in California.) But I loved how she wove the stories together, and I have never forgotten the one about the apartment turned Co-op. When I worked in one of the bookstores, she came in and I nearly hyperventilated. She signed "Male Cross dressers" for me, and it was such a thrill. She was just as glamorous as I thought she would be.
thanks for your comment -- it's nice to know that there are other creative writing majors/former bookstore workers/tama janowitz fans out there. And you'd be surprised about the moving thing -- my friends have come over to help me pack books -- because while they're a pain to haul, they're easy to pack! (You just have to ply your friends with free dinner and booze. Ha!)
