You were a stand-up comedian in a past life. Can you tell us a joke about your writing process or publishing journey?
I’m not sure how funny it is, but I submitted my book to HarperCollins and a few months later I got a letter back from my future editor. She said she was really interested in Teenage Mermaid and tried to call me but my line was busy. That was the time of dial up computers and I must have been online doing something totally lame like shopping on ebay. So here I was trying to order some trinket from China or Japan to keep me occupied while submitting my ms to HC and here they were trying to contact me! I still crack up when I think of it. :)
