In HS senior year I read Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author and then I saw it performed and my mind clung to the idea that there are beings floating around the universe looking for a writer to tell their stories. I knew the someday I would be that writer. However, other passions took me down other paths and then finally in my early 30’s I started my writing. That was decades ago and finally the characters found me. Hopefully, I’m doing them justice with my novel in progress.

My grandparents gave me this children’s version of The Phantom of the Opera when I was little—it’s the first book I remember really loving. And the thing is, it was scary for a children’s book! It kept in some really dark parts of the original novel, like the *torture chambers* he builds below the opera. That was it for me, though. Spooky for life.
