If you were presented with a book that told the story of your entire life from start to finish, what would you do with it?
I’d read at least some of it, to see how much was accurate. Probably try to find out who wrote it! If it magically dropped into my lap with no author and was 100% accurate… I’d have fun chopping out boring bits, adding commentary, and maybe publishing it (anonymously?). I would love to live in a world that automatically generated biographies for every living person!

What is your favourite word? Why?
I have too many favourite words to pick one, but anyone who knows me would recognize sensible as my favourite adjective to describe personal approval. When I use it, I mean sensible as a high compliment!

Nanaimo’s Waterfront Walkway, but only in the summer.

Revenge of the Spellmans, by Lisa Lutz.
