So what’s there to know about me? I’m the kid who loved reading and science and history, and even math, although I was always dreadful at it. I didn’t so much read as I consumed books. Vats of them. Buckets full. Baskets. Well, you get the idea. Although at first I was surprised that my very first published novel has turned out to be a young adult contemporary fantasy with a kick- ass teen girl heroine, a mysterious handsome guy and a famous Russian witch, all inspired by Anastasia Romanov’s disappearance, I suppose I really shouldn’t be surprised at all. After all, I read Madeline L’Engel’s A Wrinkle in Time a zillion times. I wallowed in Edgar Eager’s Half Magic. I stormed my way through all the Nancy Drew’s and the first really big (ooh, an adult size book) history account I sucked in was Nicholas and Alexandra. I liked my tv heroines strong and feisty, and my maternal grandmother really was a crazy Russian lady who had been one of – wait for it… here it comes… twenty children. Yes, that’s twenty as in 20. I doubt highly if anyone noticed when she ran off to America at sixteen with her tales of the Bolsheviks, married badly, raised four children on her own and was the least grandmotherly of grandmothers a girl could ever hope for. Seriously – no warm and fuzzies there, only admonitions to eat my vegetables so I would be strong enough to survive any impending pogroms. So why I was surprised that I wasn’t writing classic romance is only a product of my own personal idiocy.
