An angel visiting me and my mother when I was in the hospital with cancer with I was 15.<br /><br />2. An angel changing my flat tire on a dark highway and then disappearing.<br /><br />3. Visitation by my dog Candy after she died.<br /><br />And now...with my investigations, too many things to list!<br /><br />= )Marley Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645678180669587782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-84582205014230316912009-04-19T18:03:00.000-07:002009-04-19T18:03:00.000-07:00Sorry I'm so late on this!

With two small children I would never spend hundreds of dollars on purses or clothes. My ensemble is usually by Target! ;)stephhalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836703686468306571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-21104757410327188902009-04-19T14:54:00.000-07:002009-04-19T14:54:00.000-07:00Hey guys, the panel was fun!

I always feel like a total dork..!<br /><br />Thanks for dishing, TLC and Tina. Rhonda, you had some good questions -- and I think you should answer them as well!<br /><br />1) My favorite book is whatever I'm working on! If I don't love it, I can't write it.<br /><br />2) I would love to have my books published in Germany. I have some dear friends there that I'd love to have read my books.<br /><br />3) I can get inspiration anywhere, though I couldn't quite tell you where that is. Usually, I think of "blobs" like a character, or a situation, or some social issue that I'm interested in (loss of parent, overcoming abusive relationships, supporting elderly people) and that factors into my stories too.Heather Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010941540615940287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-28541369909330649862009-04-17T17:29:00.000-07:002009-04-17T17:29:00.000-07:00Um ... haha hahaha.

I was an athlete (tennis, basketball, and swimming) and I drew on those experiences to give my girl's running some realism.<br /><br />Have fun on your panel!

Have a wonderful time on your panel!...Hey, Heather! Have a wonderful time on your panel! Here are my Q & A:<br /><br />How much of your YA writing comes from your own life, and how much comes from having an awesome teen daughter? <br /><br />First of all, yes, my daughter IS awesome. But mostly my writing comes from my observations on life. She definitely helps keep me current, explaining things like when a guy would text message and when he'd wait for a face-to-face, and the difference between "hanging out" and "going out." But for the most part, teen drama and themes are timeless, so I just go with what I feel. <br /><br />Where is your prom dress from high school, btw? <br /><br />I didn't go. Which at the time was because my crowd thought we were "too cool" for school dances, but I now consider it a good strategic career move! Haha. Because by not going, it kept its mystery and allure...TinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.com
