    Why do you write?

    Writing is magic. It relaxes me, makes me happy, frustrates me, moves me, makes me invent the world.

    Any favorite authors? Books?

    "The History of Love" Nicole Krauss
    "Girl with a Pearl Earring" Tracy Chevalier

    Nope. I'm not a film director, Nora. I'm a retired teacher. That's just Matt's sense of humor.
