Which talent would you most like to have?
I love music and really wish I could sing well. It would be so much fun to get in front of a crowd, or a small group at a karaoke bar, and be able to impress everyone with a great song. But unfortunately I have a horrible singing voice and need to restrict my singing to when I’m alone or in the company of those who are very close to me and can tolerate it.
Who are your favorite writers?
Emily St. John Mandel, Ottessa Moshfegh, Mona Awad, Daniel Silva, and Claire Vaye Watkins.
What is your favorite occupation?
I love the creativity and freedom of being a writer. There’s nothing else as interesting, fun, and cathartic as creating a new novel based on real life experiences, and then hearing the reactions of readers to the story and characters.
What is your motto?
A writer writes.
On what occasion do you lie?
Sometimes I say “nice to see you” when it’s not really that nice to see that person.
What is your greatest fear?
Heights.
What is it that you most dislike?
Season three of “And Just Like That”
What do you most value in your friends?
Allowing me to be the real me with them.
How would you like to die?
Checking my phone to see if I have any new Substack subscribers.
What is your idea of perfect happiness?
Enjoying a compelling and original novel by a new author.
