Always a reader

I was a reader all my life. I got it from my parents, who both spent hours with their noses in books. My mother preferred to sit on the floor in front of a heat register (usually the one under the breakfast counter in the kitchen). I think I was around seven years old when I first decided to write a book. I remember pulling my mom off the floor, saying "we can write a novel." That masterpiece is lost to history; I only remember that it was a mystery. I was heavily into the Bloodhound Gang and Scooby-Doo at that age. I was even head of a detective club with some neighborhood kids.

I think it's time to write a mystery novel again.
