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.)
