TEN THINGS YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME
By Linda Joy Singleton
1. I'm a cat person. My kitty Lily is named after Harry Potter's mother and the term "Lily White" because she has long fur and blue eyes. I have 7 cats and 5 dogs. The pigs and horses belong to my husband and daughter.
2. I collect girl-series books. Name one and I may have it in my garage-library.
3. When I was 13 I wrote a fan letter to Margaret Sutton, author of the Judy Bolton series. She came to my high school graduation party and before she died we co-wrote one more Judy mystery, THE TALKING SNOWMAN for fans.
4. I had lasik surgery and feel like I've been given a wonderful gift of vision.
5. I started square dancing at age 13, was in a performing teen round dance group at age 17, and met my husband at a square dance. I have square danced in a bathroom, elevator, on a boat, Big Trees Stump and in the Seattle Space Needle.
6. I got bit by a fish while on a Caribbean cruise. I put the scene in a book -- called it research.
7. I don't care much for dolls, but my mother makes ceramic dolls and her house is like a doll museum.
8. My best friend shares my birthday (10-29).
9. After reading the book Egypt Game by Zilpha Keatly Snyder as a kid, my best friend and I mummified a dead turtle and put it in my mother's freezer.
10. I am a chocoholic. I need help...do NOT send chocolate.
