Many of my favorite hours have been spent reading aloud to my three kids -- and speed-skating, sky-diving, and scuba-diving.
I also enjoy cooking (and eating!), snuggling with my two dogs Charlotte and Wilbur (thank you, E.B. White), and rooting for the cancer research my husband and best friend does for a living.
I love traveling -- inside a book or outside in the world -- and I'm always happy to plant both feet on the floor beneath a writing desk.
