I love twins stories.

As a Southerner, I love obstacles for my characters.

I'm really boring. I get up early. I go to bed early. I don't smoke or drink. I mean, I'll eat a cupcake. I'm just not a crazy, stay-out-all-night sort of person. I love writing.

I love puns. I've been known to turn the car around just to take advantage of a good pun situation. It really is the highest form of humor.

Southerners have this love of embellishment. Even when you read a police report, there's some backstory.

I've always been drawn to dark stories. I enjoy reading Flannery O'Connor, Patricia Highsmith, and Margaret Mitchell.
