I don’t have a romantic nature. I suppose the three best words to describe me would be cynic, pessimist, satirical. I do not swoon.

Reading: I can’t remember when I wasn’t reading. The written word surrounded me, not spoken because I can’t remember my parent’s ever reading to me.

I had finished writing “The Moroccan” while my husband was on sabbatical in Israel.

I will confess to sometimes being extremely lackadaisical.

I don’t understand why…

Why I like playing canasta: I’m basically not a game player.
