Q: What is your preferred environment for writing?
A: I like to imagine myself at a desk in a sunny room, in the country, with a cup of coffee and a sense of peace. This has never happened. So, I can usually focus and write most anyplace as long as I have a good idea.
Q: What punctuation mark are you fondest of?
A: I like them all. They need each other to survive. As Paul put it in the first letter to the Corinthians, “And the period cannot say unto the comma, I have no need of thee: nor again the comma to the question mark, I have no need of you.” Paul wrote very detailed letters.
Q: What punctuation, style, grammar, or usage error annoys you the most?
A: Leaving out apostrophes in e-mails and text messages as in “im cool.” Or “hows it going?” Why? Why do that? How much time does it save you?
Q: If you weren't in your current line of work, what would you be doing instead?
A: Teaching English. When I was a kid I hoped that one day I would open a door to a magical world and have a great adventure. Still waiting on that.
Q: What drove you to write?
A: I don’t know – my best guess would be because I love to read.
