I am an indifferent cook but I can make pie.

My first husband was a serial cheater.

Housewives of the 1950s were supposed to create show-stopping meals every night for their hard-working husbands.

I just love that feeling of being in another world, of creating characters and watching where they go.

I've always had a clear sense that time is short and we need to live as fully as we can in every moment.

Writers are magpies, and we collect details about people and we use them for fictional characters.

I write about the things that haunt or obsess me.
