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.

Who would have thought that nature would provide such a spectacular event on a warm night in front of the Home Depot store in Saratoga Springs, NY?  The vivid contrast of the orange sunset with the deep indigo clouds and hints of cobalt sky was a stunning surprise when I exited a store packed with Hallowe'en and Christmas decorations fighting for consumer interest.  Just look at the sky for real decorations that are beyond human creative possibilities.
