12. Your website is a treasure trove of information on authors and writing. How did you come to interview other authors about the process of writing? Who are some of your favorite authors?
I’ve long belonged to a great group of female authors who blog about one another’s new releases (in a wonderful show of support), and I’ll just ask authors whose work I admire if they’d like to participate in a Q&A for my blog. I love showcasing authors and reading about their writing processes and favorite books. As for my own favorite authors, I have so many. I’m crazy about Elinor Lipman, Anne Tyler, Richard Russo, and Jennifer Crusie (to name just a few), and right now I’m reading everything Elizabeth Berg has ever written. I love memoirs, too. I’ll also generally buy any book that has half a woman on the cover. I love women’s fiction.
13. What would you like readers to take away from The Love Goddess’ Cooking School?
That fate and fortunes are a funny thing, that no matter what may seem predestined for you, you are the captain of your own little ship.
14. What are you working on next?
As of this writing, I’m putting the finishing touches on the first few chapters of a new novel about family, love, and the magic of movies.
