One Size Does Not Fit All

I fell under the spell of books when I was growing up and working in my grandparents' bookstore: Gingerbread Square Books in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware?a small coastal town that's crowded with tourists in the summer months. When I read, I was transported to the world the book conjured.

I still feel this way. The ability of an author to pull you into his or her story is magical. When I thought of what kind of jobs I could possibly be interested in when I eventually became an adult, I wanted to be one of those people who was able to make that magic happen for readers. I still do.

Along the way, I've found the act of creating is also a kind of magic. When I write, I often fall into the story. That joy doesn't happen every time I write, and there are slow times to work through. Frustration is also a part of the process, which makes me value the days when writing clicks well.

I live in Maryland with three wonderful people: my wife Sue and our daughters Tess and Molly.
