Hey gang,
I’m always amazed when I get an email from a reader who is doing a class project and/or report about me and/or my books.
Was Jane Austen taken? I have to ask. Then I tell the reader to go try to swap with the person who gets to write the report on Jane Austen because that would be way more interesting than writing about me!
In any case, I have to explain why I don’t have a ton of biographical information available on my site. The reason is simple, really: most of the biographical information that people think they need is information that isn’t really necessary to understand me or my books. It is, however, information that you might need if you wanted to steal my identity/hack into my credit card accounts/ bankrupt me/ stalk me/ or just in general make my life miserable.
So, sorry. I will not tell you where I was born, what my mother’s maiden name was, or the name of my childhood pets. (Because it most definitely was not a cat named Suzie.)
I’ve said all this (and a lot more) before in this very detailed post. If you need info for me I’d suggest you look there.
Good luck!
Ally
