Introduction I'm a writer. It took me some time to realize that those three words were me. After graduating from a small liberal arts college, I took a job at a soul-sucking law firm. Fortunately, I came to my senses and took off to travel in South East Asia. It was there, sitting under a shaded hammock on the balcony of a hostel in Bangkok that I realized what I wanted to do. Currently, I am working on my third novel.

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?

When I was younger, 7:30 am, to make sure I wouldn't miss a minute of Superman (not The Animated Series) but the one before that one.
