Tiffany’s comments from the Q&A with Brian Lageose group.

Great question Monica, I loved all of Judy Blume's books so they must be mentioned. I also loved From the Mixed up Files of Mrs Basil E Frankweiler. I wasn't planning on running away to live secretly in a museum per se, but I loved their whimsical detective work that turned out to solve a real mystery. I've recently started the Anne of Green Gables series because I didn't read them when I was younger, so far, I love them too. =)

"Epiphany" by Paul McCusker. More of a novella really. I stumbled upon this book by accident one day in December, about 14 years ago. Rambling through a book store (which is so fun) it almost fell into my hands (Im not kidding, I think I ran into the table). When I turned the book over and read the following excerpt, I knew I had to buy it. The characters name had special meaning, it being the same as my sons father. "Richard Lee may be gone, but he's not yet departed. In this captivating Christmas novella, as the unseen observer of the family events that follow his own death, Richard watches his children return to their hometown to attend his funeral, settle the estate . . . and come to terms not only with their father's passing, but with the disappointing direction each of their lives has taken" I read this every year around the holidays. It sort of has an "It's a Wonderful Life" feel to it, but not exactly the same. And of course, epiphany is one of my most favorite words.

When did you decide you wanted to be an author/writer?
