| Introduction | Some people have a strange idea of what it means to be a writer. They think I’m locked away in a tiny room with only a computer to keep me company. Sure, I have calluses on my fingers from countless hours typing. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a life away from my work. I’ve ridden on horseback into Africa’s Maasailand, hiked through a leech-infested rain forest in Australia, and shivered inside a dogsled for the first part of the famed 1,049 mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska. For adventure novel ICE ISLAND (Random House), I traveled to a remote island off the coast of Alaska. I was surprised to see polar bear hides hanging on drying racks and men repairing walrus skin boats. When not traveling around the world I like to dance. Sometimes I enter contests at dance conventions. Even though I’ve never won one -- at least not yet -- it’s fun to wear clothes that sparkle and glue on false eyelashes. |
