Snakey and Lambykin, from my 3rd grade storytelling days.
WHEN DID YOU FIRST KNOW YOU WANTED TO BE A WRITER AND WHY?
In 3rd grade, I would bring my stuffed animals with me to school. My teacher let me perform little spontaneous plays with the stuffed animals as characters and me supplying the voices. I guess that was when I knew.

When Grendel’s Mother received an award, Literary Classics interviewed me. That was months ago and I’d almost forgotten about it. Now it has been posted. The segment above comes from that exchange which you can read in its entirety here.
When I went to Las Vegas for the award ceremony, we had a fabulous time! Here are photos from that event.
