A native of Massachusetts, I've never mastered the art of writing about myself in third person. No idea if these facts are in any way linked.
Back when I could still be trained to do such things,I avoided learning to type properly in an effort to ensure I never had to work in an office. These days, I work in an office and write novels on the side. Typing very poorly indeed.
I read all sorts of books - but seem to be capable of writing only comedic novels with snarky heroines or the occasional re-telling of a fairy tale.
