Favorite non-reading activity?

Outdoor hikes. I especially enjoy that while traveling and exploring new places, so city hikes would count as well.

Not all books are for all readers… when you start a book and you just don’t like it, how long do you read until you bail?

I usually like to finish a book I start, even if it’s not great. But if it’s a real yawner, I’ll start skimming after the halfway point to get through it faster.

Vacation druthers… City or Rural destination? Why?

City destinations – because we already live in a rural area with peace, quiet, wildlife, and trees (which I wouldn’t have any other way).

Is there another profession you would like to try?

I love what I do, but if I couldn’t be a writer, I might have enjoyed being a landscape architect because I love envisioning outdoor spaces.

What brings you great joy?

Peacefulness: relaxing outdoors and looking up at clouds and treetops blowing in the wind.
