My interest since a young girl has been reading. It was something that was passed on to me from my mother. I was a ferocious reader, even reading books two or three times each. One of my favorite books was Maggie Now, written by Betty Smith, the author of a Tree Grows In Brooklyn. It wasn’t just the narratives that drew me to reread her book, it was also the descriptions of the people and the places. I used to lay on my bed and dream about writing.
