About Me in Ten Questions
 
Favorite food? Sushi. If I have to narrow it down, a nice tuna roll.
 
Favorite book? The Little Prince. Though I really can't pick one.
 
Favorite movie? The Lives of Others. German flick with subtitles. One word: Awesome.
 
Favorite drink? Grey Goose martini, up, with olives stuffed with cocktail onions.
 
Children? Four. The last one is Demon Baby.
 
Pets? Three disobedient dogs, one talking cockatoo, an African pygmy hedgehog named Penelope, and a ball python who belongs to Oldest Son. She is named Lydia. I hate her. I am convinced she will escape, find me where I am writing, and eat me.
 
What is your writing routine? It depends on the day.  I write in snatches of stolen hours here or there, sometimes with Demon Baby climbing on my chair. I am more of a morning writer than nighttime. Like most mothers, I find time in between chaos.
 
What do you do when you're not writing? Chase after Demon Baby, knit, read, try to sleep (chronic insomniac)
 
You write under pen names and across genres, why? Keeps me from being bored.
 
What's on your latest iPod playlist? The Arcade Fire, Ray La Montagne, Elvis Costello, The Cure, Cake, Django Reinhardt
