I've always had an aversion to reading, watching or hearing
interviews of favorite actors, authors, musicians, etc.
because so often the real person doesn't measure up to the
beauty of the art they produce. Their politics or religion
are distasteful, or they're shallow and self-absorbed, a
vacuous mop-head without a lick of sense. From then on,
though I may appreciate their craft or art, it has somehow
been tarnished. Therefore, whenever I'm asked to provide
personal information about myself for readers, a ball of
anxiety forms in my stomach as I think: "Okay, the next
couple of paragraphs can change forever the way someone
views my stories." Why on earth does a reader want to know
about me? It's the story that's important.
So here it is. I've been given more blessings in my life
than any one person has a right to have. Despite that, I'm a
Type A, borderline obsessive-compulsive paranoiac who
worries I will never live up to expectations. I've got more
phobias than anyone (including myself) has patience to read
about. I can't stand talking on the phone, I dread social
commitments, and the idea of living in monastic solitude
with my husband and animals, books and writing is as close
an idea to paradise as I can imagine. I love chocolate, but
with that deeply ingrained, irrational female belief that
weight equals worth, I manage to keep it down to a minor
addiction. I adore good movies. I'm told I work too much.
Every day is spent trying to get through the never ending
"to do" list to snatch a few minutes to write.
Despite all these mediocre and typical qualities, for some
miraculous reason, these wonderful characters well up out of
my soul with stories to tell. When I manage to find enough
time to write, sufficient enough that the precious
"stillness" required rises up and calms all the competing
voices in my head, I can step into their lives, hear what
they are saying, what they're feeling, and put it down on
paper. It's a magic beyond description, akin to truly
believing my husband loves me, winning the trust of an
animal who has known only fear or apathy, making a true
connection with someone, or knowing for certain I've given a
reader a moment of magic through those written words. It's a
magic that reassures me there is Someone, far wiser than
myself, who knows the permanent path to that garden of
stillness, where there is only love, acceptance and a pen
waiting for hours and hours of uninterrupted, blissful use.
If only I could finish that darned "to do" list.
I welcome feedback from readers—actually, I thrive on
it like a vampire, whether it's good or bad. So feel free to
visit me through my website.
