Where do you live?
I live in a brick house with my husband, Michael, in Edmond, OK. My gardening hobby has taken over the front yard. My neighbors may despair that I don’t have a traditional cut-lawn yard, because sometimes wildflowers look gangly.
What was your last work published?
Article: “Elephant Babies Require a “Ton” of Waiting!” Winter 2009, ZooSounds.
Article: “21,343 Hours!” (Volunteering at the zoo), Winter, 2009, ZooSounds.

What are you reading?
Three genres right now:
For profession development, I’m reading several books about how to write humor, such as How to Write Funny by Katchuba. As suspected, it’s like writing “voice,” some people do it naturally and no one can pinpoint the process. (I hope I have a little natural ability!).
For the young adult novel I’m about to start, I’m doing some presidential research in Lincoln Through the Lens by Sandler.
For fun, I’m reading a young adult book about a girl pirate called Under the Jolly Roger by L.A. Meyer (good last name, huh?)
Where is your favorite place to snuggle down and read?
I can get lost in reading anywhere! However, with the approach of winter, I do love reading on the red loveseat by the fireplace.
Do you have a website?
Not yet—but almost. It’s in the works.
Do you have a favorite quote?
“When I take a breath, I breathe time instead of air.” (Susan Katz from her book Mrs. Brown on Exhibit and Other Museum Poem) and the “Do not worry about anything…” verse from Phillipians 4:6.
I received the first sketches for The Princess and the Pee today. They are awesome. I can't describe how surreal and wonderful it is to see my words translated into images!

God bless,

Today is Poinsettia Day. I love Poinsettias. To me, they truly represent the beauty of Christmas. At the moment, I have two sitting on my dining table. I'm praying they make it alive to decorate my Christmas Eve party, while my hubby and son are taking bets on whether they'll make it alive through the weekend. Sadly, I do not have a green thumb, but I'm trying!
"Keep reading and dreaming"
God Bless,
Susan
I've just found out today is Agent Appreciation Day.
So... Jill, thank you for all your hard work on my behalf.
