Along the way, I picked up a guitar, and then a mic, and then started playing in rock bands, and the next obvious (to me) step was to start writing songs. And then to start recording them. I am the living embodiment of the concept of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” What’s next? I never know!
I live on a lake in Minneapolis with my husband, bedrooms for two cute kidlets who are now in their 20s and living elsewhere but still my kidlets, and a stuffed monkey named Philip. When not writing books or songs, I live for guitar, live music, travel, fruity cocktails (in moderation!), playing sports with reckless abandon, and ill-advised adventures that offer a high probability of injury to myself and others.
If I have any vices – and I totally deny it – they might include (in no particular order) rock bands, dancing, triple-berry scones, my adorable little convertible, too much time spent at Five Guys and Punch Pizza, and (currently) Chris Hemsworth. (NATURALLY, it’s just that I admire him objectively for his commitment to fitness.) I should also mention my addiction to my favorite place on earth, Paris, because ... chocolate-banana crêpes.
Oh, and I wanna be a rock star when I grow up. (Or maybe even sooner than that.) Unless I wind up being king.
