Q&A
​

Q: OMG, what happened to your hair?
A: There was a global pandemic.
Q: Is that a bathroom-mirror selfie with no makeup and your shower curtain as a backdrop?
A: It is.
Q: But...why didn't you get new professional shots taken?
A: There was a global pandemic. (But isn't the professional shot lovely? Natalia Dotto is amazing.)
Q: Okaaaay, but does this mean you're secretly old and go to bed at, like, ten o'clock?
A: I mean, I get in bed at ten o'clock, but then I read for an hour. Also I wake up early to write which is the secret to productivity.
Q: Do you not know about hair dye?
A: Yeah, but I'm going for it. Aging naturally and all that shit.
Q: For my bookclub/school assignment/curiosity, I need to know about more than your hair.
A: There is nothing more to know than my hair.
Q: Really?
A: Well, under Bits & Pieces up there, you'll find some personal essays. On the About page, you'll find some nuts and bolts. I grew up in Maryland, did my undergrad in Virginia, went to graduate school in Delaware, taught college in Baltimore, Maryland and Tacoma, Washington, and currently live in Seattle on a really, really steep hill with my husband, daughter, and border collie whose hair is even whiter than mine now is. I write in the mornings and afternoons, read in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night, and sleep way too little.
Q: Your dog is really cute.
A: I know. It's ridiculous.
Q: Was it the stress of walking her up and down the hill every day that made your hair turn gray?
A: Almost certainly.

    Very occasionally, when there's news or bookclub specials or travel or offers or invitations, I'd love to let you know. (All your info will be kept private and never shared, of course.)
