In February 2008, at the age of 46, I finally figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up. I am a writer and, most recently, a blogger. I have had numerous stories of various genres fighting for position in my imagination for years. Then, one day, I heard a famous author on one of the morning shows tell the world, “If you write a page a day, by the end of a year you will have a book.” Was he talking to me? Sure, he was, the voice in my head replied. The next day, I invested in a computer and began pouring those stories into the hard drive...with backups. Relatively new to the blogging scene, I decided to venture off the beaten path when it came to author interviews. Because we authors tend to be long winded about answering questions, I knew I wanted something geared towards those of us with very short attention spans. My creation? The #SQUIRREL blog series. Here, I challenge my fellow authors to limit their answers to 7 words, or 7 sentences. But they only have to answer 7 questions, so that can’t be too difficult...right?

Three published books and nobody died in the process, seems like a pretty good achievement to me.
