Sarvenaz Tash
When I was a kid, I read a lot. I was painfully shy and reading was both my escape and my way to understand the world around in me in a safe way. Very quickly, the authors of those books became my heroes, and the idea of being a part of that world when I was a grown-up became my dream.
Soon enough, there were stories and ideas and characters that were coming to me. They were stories I wanted to read, but realized I couldn't because they hadn't been written yet. So it only made sense for me to try and write them. So I wrote a lot; I wrote poorly and I wrote overdramatically and I learned with everything I wrote, whether it ended up forgotten in a drawer after one day or something I tinkered with for years.
In the most basic sense, everything I write now still goes back to that same idea: it's a story I want to read that doesn't happen to have been written yet.
Thank you for your question!

I presume your novel Three Day Summer is based on the Woodstock concert in Bethel, NY or one of its reunion concerts (in Bethel or Saugerties as they both hold them) held in August on the anniversary of the original Woodstock concert. At as I live by the original site, I was wondering if you have visited the area or am I totally off base about the three day concert location?
