| When can I get your book? |
 My
first novel, THE SECRET LIFE OF A TEENAGE
SIREN,
comes out December of 2007. |
| With three little boys at home, how do you find time
to write? |
I don’t find time; I make it. Typically happens
in the wee hours of the night, when I’m supposed
to be doing laundry, or when I’ve drugged everybody
and tied them down to their beds. In their undies, ‘cause
there’s no clean laundry. |
| Are your characters modeled after real people? |
Nope. But real people sometimes try to be my characters. |
| I see you live in Utah. Do men there really have
multiple wives? |
Yes.
And some women have multiple husbands too. As
long as everybody gets green
Jell-O at picnics, the
whole state is happy. |
| What are your favorite foods? |
Chocolate
covered cinnamon bears, sushi, Oreo ice
cream, Vietnamese spring rolls |
| Not green Jell-O? |
I’ll
pass. |
| Who are some of your favorite authors? |
 Oscar
Wilde and Charles Dickens |
| What was your first job? |
I dressed up as Funshine
Bear for grand opening celebrations. |
| If
you could do any profession, besides what you’re
doing now, what would you do? |
Racecar
driver  |
What
do you want to do before you die? |
 |
Jump out of an airplane. With a parachute, ideally. |
| Are you married? |
Last time I checked. Wait a minute. Honey? Where
are you? |
| Do you have more than one husband? |
 |
Listen,
I was lucky enough to land one guy. Let’s
not push it. |
| Coke or Pepsi? |
Diet Coke |
| Nut of choice? |
Almond |
| Red Vines or Twizzlers? |
 Twizzlers, strawberry. |
| If you were Miss America, what would be your platform? |
Banning white Speedos. I have a really good story
about that one and I think I could really get into
the whole emotionality of this travesty. |
| If you were winning an award, who would you thank? |
I’d
like to thank the Academy. |
| Do you have any body piercings or tattoos? |
Sometimes |
| What’s
the best part of being an author? |
Waving to my readers from the top of the Homecoming
Queen float. (I love wearing tiaras.) |
