My recently published MILLY AND THE TALE FROM ACROSS THE STREET started out with my basic childhood fascination of an old Victorian house in Duluth, MN. I wondered what secrets it held. I swear I saw ghosts up in the upper floor windows. After I knew the house would be part of my story, I came up with a brand new idea that just came to me in bits and pieces.

Sometimes I just watch my kids play or listen in on their conversations (or engage in conversations with them). My next book is very much inspired by one of my daughters in particular.

It is called "Up North- A Milly Story". It's in the same series as my first book, Milly and the Tale from Across the Street.

I go for a run- with no music and no podcasts! I come up with plot ideas and marketing strategies while running.

Good question, Andy! ;) My best friend from childhood and I invented our own "language" and my name was "Milly". Her's was "Lilly", so you can guess how developed our language really was. Chester sounded like a dignified and smart man. Cora- I just liked the name.

I'd love to go to the setting of my favorite book from childhood, The BFG. It would be a bit dangerous with all those giants around, but I'd have my trusty protector- the BFG himself, of course. I would love to help him come up with awesome dreams for children around the world!
