Today, I'm the featured writer in Joan Dempsey's Gutsy Great Novelist Writers Studio. Here's my response to the question: When did you first realize you wanted to write a novel? Was there a particular person or experience that inspired you?

​My younger sisters' bedroom adjoined mine, with nightly consequences. I invented a communication code and taped it to the back walls of our side-by side closets. Long after we were supposed to be asleep, I'd go into the closet and communicate with them through a series of special knocks. Taking two flashlights, I crawled into the dark hallway and shone lights on the back wall of their bedroom. The wild, invented stories began. Often, they were inspired by a children's novel I'd just read. It was important to keep this a secret from our parents, who'd ruin all the fun if they knew!

Knock, knock. Time for a story.

How lucky can a person get? This is from a workshop in Raleigh NC at the Art of the Carolinas. In the centre of the photo is renowned artist, Linda Kemp doing a demonstration for her lucky pupils in one of her classes. Why am I lucky? She's my sister.  We started taking lessons together when we were 8 and 10 years old. We've both had careers in the art world, but this is the first time since we were little girls that we've had the chance to spend time together. Fabulous conference and I hope we'll be lucky enough to be back again next year.
