Q&A with the Author:
1. What inspired your book?
Key Keeper was inspired by a dream I had, which actually became one of the most important scenes for the book. From there, I just had to write what would happen before and after that scene, and the characters were more than agreeable.
2. How do you spend your free time?
If I do have free time, which is usually when I set aside stuff because I need the free time, I watch movies or tv with my hubby, play facebook games, or read a book.

Top Ten People I would like to meet.
1. J.R.R. Tolkien. I mean, who wouldn't want to meet the
"father" of fantasy?
2. J.K. Rowling. If she can make it with an oddball fantasy series,
surely I can too, and I'd love to pick her brain about that.
3. Joan of Ark - I think her life story is just fascinating.
4. C.S. Lewis - He was an amazing writer. Can't imagine what life would
be like without Narnia.
5. Robin McKinley - She's always been one of my fave fantasy authors. I
have a few bones to pick though, about hinted stories that never got written.
6. Mark Twain - He seems like he'd have been a great guy to know.
7. Albert Einstein - Would love to meet the man who contributed so much
to how we see the world.
8. King Charlemagne - An ancestor on both sides of the family, I
understand he was one of the first people to instigate a public education
system for his people. That, and he had some really cool things happen in his
life.
9. Harrison Ford - He's one of my fave actors of all time. He's just
awesome.
10. Danny Kaye - Another childhood favorite actor, I think Danny and I
would have gotten along swimmingly. That, and the fact that he sang like a
dream, even though he couldn't read a note of music.
