Are there any books you really don’t enjoy?
I don't mind books with romance in them, but I loathe romance novels. Gak.

Location and life experiences can really influence writing, tell us where you grew up and where you now live?
I was born and raised in Indiana. After I graduated, I moved around a lot. I went on foreign exchange to Australia the summer after I graduated high school in 1989. I went to college in the St. Louis area for one year, then went to Arizona State University. I lived in Hawaii for nine months, Chicago, Nashville, um...Indianapolis again as an adult. I've also lived in Columbus, Ohio, Atlanta, Georgia and Portland, Oregon metro. I'm currently living in the Kansas City metro area, which seems to be the best fit. It's all kind of a long story.
