That’s the official bio. Here are a few more fun facts about me…
I make stop motion movies! It’s a skill I picked up during the pandemic. Here is one of my efforts:
- What is Compost? A Story for All Ages. I made this 3-minute video for small children, but all who are children at heart can watch, too. What compost will you make today?
Books I read over and over again:
- All the King’s Men by Robert Penn Warren
- Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
- Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
- Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
- Matilda by Roald Dahl
If I could only eat three foods for the rest of my life (and not have to worry about the effects of malnutrition):
- Avocado.
- Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups.
- Eggs.
A favorite question I like to ask: What novel do you wish everyone would read?
