I know that you probably have a million questions to answer and won't have time to read this but I'm writing it anyway. On your website, it says that you got "heavily involved in local theater and in school speech and debate competitions". What inspired you to go back to writing? Since you are one of my favourite authors I decided to act as you for a drama project, I would like to act as accurate as possible.

Hi Lily,
I think what drew me back to writing was the birth of my first child. I quit work to stay home with him but needed something bigger to occupy my mind. Theater wasn't an option for me at that time - doing the mom thing was more important - but writing filled my need to create story.
Good luck on the drama project, and thank you!
