The usual way – through a long series of rejections, revising my manuscripts, and kept trying again and again. Finally I was fortunate enough to find a good agent.
I studied literature design and fashion design.
I’m a terribly irresponsible eater – I love soft-boiled eggs and chocolate. I never met a chocolate I could not eat.
I try to write about the stuff that torments us all.
