| Introduction | 35-year-old adolescent, struggling to find myself while raising a child and a husband at the same time. Of course, I want to write, but haven't done so yet. Hated teaching with a passion that rivalled the heat of the Sun. Fortunately, they didn't want to keep me around either, so I was forced to find another job that suited me better and made me feel like smiling in the morning. Yay. I love, love, love, being an editor. I really do, even on days that I suck at it. Now that's love. My favourite authors: Jane Austen, Douglas Adams and Amanda Quick. Authors I respect as true craftsmen: Stephen King, Dr Seuss and Wole Soyinka. Poets who blow my mind: Derek Walcott, TS Eliot and WB Yeats. My favourite crazy poet: Emily Dickenson. |
