This imaginative and interactive story asks readers to help the main character, String, out. When String realizes that it is too short to be of any good use it loses all the magic it once had and finds itself with a case of the slumps. The heart of the story lies in the undoubted power of friendship and the challenging truth that life doesn't always go as planned.
I was born in Los Angeles, but spent a few years of my childhood in boarding school in the very cold south of England. After I graduated college, I taught English for a year in Turkey then went to grad school in London.
I'm a train hopping, Miles Davis and Chopin listening, Eiffel Tower climbing, oil paintin, art galleria going, Harry Potter reading sort of person. If this means something to you, we are going to be good friends :o)
