Who or what would you say has been your biggest inspiration in life?
From a writing standpoint, my biggest inspiration is definitely my kids. They’ve both been enthusiastic readers from early on that started reading novels and telling me about what they’d read with genuine excitement and interest starting in third grade. I could see that passion spill over into their schoolwork, where they both do very well. Through my writing, I hope to inspire that same excitement in other kids, and truly hope it leads to the same beneficial effect on their academics.
