Welcome to the first edition of “Ask Susie”. Have a question you want me to answer, go ahead and ask it!

I hope to do this each week. Thanks!
LOOK at those crazy eyes!!!

How do you decide to name your characters? Is there any specific idea or meaning behind each one’s name?

I like that you are a terrible, terrible housekeeper! I taught you well!!! 😉 Spend time with those kids, babe!!!

Yup. In my world, reading with the kids and taking them places is FAR more important than having a tidy house!

I so agree. I have learned (the hard way) that you “make” time. 🙂 Well said.

You are making it, too. Early morning writers are rock stars in my book!

I find being this close to your face (camera-wise) completely changes the perspective of your face, accentuating it with an intensity and animation lacking in more distant encounters. Will you be continuing this series using a similar technique, or are you going to experiment with various styles?
And my pertinent-to-writing question is in relation to your delightful husband. What kinds of things do spouses-of-writers need to know in order to survive with us? Do they ever get jealous of the time we need to spend (alone) with our laptops?

Rob, you cracked me up! I’m this close to the camera because it’s my iPod Touch. I’m planning to try different ways of setting it up. I just don’t want it to be too far down from my face. Nobody wants to look up my nose.
That is a FANTASTIC question. Maybe I’ll try to get Jeff in on answering that one with me. 🙂
