Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I live in Massachusetts with my husband, three children, and two cats. We are in training to be alpaca breeders and are working on weekends to build our farm. I watch the skies by night for UFOs and beg my favorite psychic friend for stories.
What will readers like about your book? I've always loved stories that weave in and out of silly, scary, grief, happiness… I love when the emotion of a character is at one level, then without warning shoots somewhere else-just like in life. So you’ll find a lot of unkempt emotion in FAIRY CIRCLE. Just tryin’ to keep this fantasy real!What inspired you to write it?
Also, when I was nine, my older brothers took me to see some Disney movie at the theater. After my parents dropped us off and drove away we left the Disney line and I was escorted to the Poltergeist line… The movie was almost sold out and there weren’t enough seats together. I had to sit with strangers because my six-year-old brother “would be too scared” to sit alone! I don’t think I can put into words how much that film terrified me, but I can say, I’ve never slept a whole night through since! I totally credit Poltergeist with the things that still go on in my head today. ;o)
Do you have any new works in the pipeline?

Thank you for interviewing me, Shalini. I must get back to my book. It’s my new fave: HIDDEN.
