What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
I was given advised to dump the guy I had been seeing. It was great advice, but I didn’t listen. I should have. Eventually, he dumped me. Thank God.
I don’t have a favorite album. I have favorite songs from albums, but there’s never been an album where all the songs were worthy of an all-time favorite.
Which topics would you like to be more informed about?
I really enjoy learning about history, so I’d have to go with that. When I’m writing, I come across topics I’d like to work into my manuscripts. For example, in my last novel physics worked its way in. I enjoyed learning about what I needed to know. But overall, it’s difficult to pin down which topics I’d like to be informed about because they can arise and tap you on the shoulder at any time.
What would your life be like without music?
Dull as dull can be. Music assists with my creativity by creating mind pictures with which to work. I need my creativity.

How do you celebrate holidays?
I celebrate with lots of family. We put up an 8 foot folding table for people to sit around and a buffet table for the food. Some like to eat at the picnic table outside on the patio, while others sit in the living room. Lots of family and togetherness.

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.
1. I should have stayed home.
2. I should have dumped the guy I was seeing.
I try to walk at least 4 days/wk. I don’t run anymore. It isn’t good for the knees.
Do you see yourself as a leader?
It depends on the situation I’m in.
Describe your ideal week.
One that sails along smoothly like wind in the sails of a sailboat.
